Top pick: #2 (DRINKING FUND) (7-5) - The probable heavy favorite, she comes into this off an easy win here in a $70K stakes against fellow La.-breds on Feb. 2 that ran her local record to (15-7-3-0). Veteran grey mare will be very tough this avaning.
2nd pick: #5 (G G's Girl) (7-2) - Very consistent grey mare has visited the winner's circle 13 times, the latest here at this distance 11 days ago in an entry-level allowance. She has dangerous early speed and last year as a 5-year-old she won 8-of-16 starts.
3rd pick: #8 (Francesca Del Port) (12-1) - Price play had a very wide trip in the same stakes won by "Fund" and was never really involved. She'd gone (3-2-1-0) here prior to that and her speed/stalking ability should play well today at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Drew Clear) (9-2) - Filly rallied from close range to win a firts-level allowance facing La.-breds here at this trip on Jan. 18. She was less than 2 off of "Francesca" in her previous race and may get a small share at a nice price.
