Top pick: #8 (DONATE) - Speedy grey filly by "City Zip" has run well in both her dirt starts and last out finished a pace-setting third here at this price on New Year's Day. Trainer Jim DiVito has worked her since and she draws a nice outside post at this 6.5 furlong distance to "gun" from. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Twitter Pie) - Home-bred daughter of "Harlan's Holiday" has been compoetitive in all three starts facing special weights and trainer Ken McPeek will drop her into a claimer for the first time. Working well for her first start since late October and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Chambord Castle) - Nice debut here a month ago saw her race close-up through-out and finished second of 12, beaten 2 lengths racing for $25K. She moves up in price and will need to inmprove a bit for a shot at the win.
