Top pick: #8 (LADY CATFISH) - Speedy filly goes turf to "poly" after a pair of solid efforts going down the hill at Santa Anita facing special weights. Trainer Craig Dollase drops her into a claimer, and the switch to Raf Bejarano indicate the barn likes her chances.
2nd pick: #7 (She's a Go Girl) - Another with early speed and daughter of "Silver Train" finished a pace-setting second here racing for $50K on Nov. 8. Improving, and that recent sharp try was her first local start.
3rd pick: #1 (Truly Beautiful) - Barn (Marty Jones) is always better second-time out (20%) and he's been having a fine meet (15-3-3-3) up to this point. Home-bred by "Jump Start" raced evenly in her debut and draws the rail while dropping into a claimer.
