Top pick: #12 (STORMIN START) - She showed good speed in her bow facing tougher and after putting up a good fight she tired late to finish 3rd. Race was just over two months ago and she's been in steady training since. Good barn (Pat Mouton) drops her and has her nicely spotted for the win.
2nd pick: #1 (Java Honey) - Improved run is noted last out when she she finished 5th of a dozen, Filly was dropped for that effort and it was only her 2nd lifetime run. Has the rail and another move forward should be coming.
3rd pick: #4 (Cherokee's Music) - Probable favorite finished a rallying 2nd on Dec.14th at this level but has no published works since that time. May be over-bet and she'll need some pace help. Contender, but traed cautiously.
