Top pick: #7 (SHEZAFIRECRACKER) (4-1) - Canadian bred has spent her entire career facing tougher at Woodbine. She's gone 5-0-2-2 sprinting on the all weather surface there and is working sharply here for her first since Nov. 16th. Barn is dropping her to a new low and has her on real dirt for the first time.
2nd pick: #4 (Candy Portena) (7-2) - Filly is moving from turf to dirt, shortening up in distance, and dropping to a new low. She ran evenly here going a mile on the grass last out, and that should set her up well for this dirt sprint.
3rd pick: #1 (Oxidada) (3-1) - Lightly raced grey filly is brought back in two weeks for this attempt. She ran evenly here that day going 7.5-furlongs on the grass facing special weights. It was her first in 2 1/2 months and barn drops her way down in class for this dirt sprint.
4th pick: #6 (Our Azure) (6-1) - Away slowly when debuting here for 1/2 this price Dec. 31st, she rallied strongly to miss by a 1/2 length. Freshened up since, barn doubles her up in price, and has worked her three times in the past month.
