Top pick: #3 (GENUINE JONES) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Smarty Jones' is from the sizzling barn of Joe Sharp. Trainer is 44-15-12-3 at the meet after having a great 2014. This filly finished a pace-setting second here when debuting in an 'off the turf' sprint at this level and distance Jan. 4th. Heavily bet that day, she hurt her chances by hitting the gate at the break. She's worked fast since and should go wire-to-wire against this group.
2nd pick: #6 (Celebrategoodtimes) (7-2) - She exits the same last race as 'Genuine Jones.' Filly was very wide that day, but was only 1 1/2 lengths back of that rival. $100K daughter of 'Harlan's Holiday' had been competitive in all five dirt sprints prior to that and is bred to like the turf. Contends today.
3rd pick: #7 (Sugar Sweet) (4-1) - She split the top two picks here last out. A bit more than a length back of 'Genuine,' she was a 'neck' better than 'Celebrategoodtimes.' She's been competitive in all three grass sprints and is a factor with her best.
4th pick: #4 (Malhama) (6-1) - She hasn't raced in just over two months and gives away a recency edge to the other selections. No speed type will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
