Top pick: #8 (NORA'S MUSIC) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly finished a pace-chasing second here at this claiming tag and distance Jan. 16. She had to rush a bit after being bumped at the break so the effort was solid under the circumstances. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Saveaplaceforme) (5-1) - She's racing first off a claim and for only the second time in five months. Away a bit slowly in the same last race as "Nora" she raced evenly once in stride while two back of the rival at the finish. New barn had her work a bullet 3-furlongs Jan. 29, and have her making back-to-back starts for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Pampam) (7-2) - Since dropping in class following a poor debut, this filly has finished second in three of five starts. The latest of those came at this tag and trip Jan. 10. She should be involved every step with a repeat of that effort.
4th pick: #6 (Jill's Comprise) (10-1) - Unreliable sort rallied to finish second here at this price tag going 7-furlongs Jan. 19. She hasn't put goods efforts together since last fall, but her latest was encouraging. Stretch threat.
