Top pick: #4 (IDE DECLAIRE) (5-1) - She's stretching out in distance after racing evenly here at this tag going 5-furlongs in the slop Jan. 22. It was her first race in 6-months and she can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (S S Wardway) (6-1) - Stalker has been competitive in three of four starts since dropping down to this $10K claiming tag. She draws another inside post to save ground from and is a win candidate turning for home.
3rd pick: #9 (Hot Talent Miss) (5-1) - Filly raced evenly here at this distance for twice this price tag Dec. 26. On the sidelines since, she's dropping in class and is a threat with just a bit of improvement.
4th pick: #10 (Watch the Gate) (15-1) - Speedy filly draws a tough outside post in today's opener. She's been competitive in three straight at this level, but needs to do better down the stretch in order to win this.
