Top pick: #7 (VEILLIT') - Runs today first off a Mike Mitchell claim (a 38% wining angle). Very consistent filly (22-7-7-2) is looking for her fourth in a row and Mitchell brings her back at the price he just paid for her. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Warren's Swamp Fox) - Also goes fresh off a claim (Jack Carava 22%) and she'll be racing for only the third time since early Oct. She won here for twice this price a year ago today and she improved last out in her second back. Contends this afternoon.
3rd pick: #8 (Ballerina Angel) - Drops off after almost a two month break and when last seen she raced evenly from a tough outside post running for twice this tag. She's on the fragile side, but is a threat as trainer Doug O'Neill drops her to a new low in price.
