Top pick: #6 (IS THIS SEAT TAKEN) - Filly showed good early speed before tiring on Feb 5th when she was dropped dow to race in a $20K claimer. Freshened-up since that time, filly is working fast, and trainer Gloria Haley will drop her down to the bottom for the first time. Wins this with an alert start.
2nd pick: #1 (Miss Smoke Signals) - Stalker draws the shortest route home in this abbrviated sprint and she finished second in two straight at this price. Obvious contender and the rail post is a big plus.
3rd pick: #10 (Rock d'Or) - Off slowly in her well-bet debut she rushed up to reach the front, but predictably tired from her efforts. Trainer Dennis Patterson brings her back quickly and Aaron Gryder is back aboard. Contends with an alert start.
4th pick: #2 (Tanner's Diamond) - She finished a close-up third two back from a tough post at this trip, and in her latest tired after a poor start after which she was rushed-up into the pace. Working fine for this, filly races as an uncoupled barn-mate of the top pick.
