Top pick: #3 (SIREN'S SECRET) (7-5) - The probable favorite, she rallied to miss by less than a length facing tougher on Dec. 29th. Trainer Tim Hamm (75 wins in 2013) brings her back quickly and drops her to a new low. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Scarlet Dixie) (6-1) - Dropped to this price-tag last out for the first time, she rallied to finish fourth of 11, beaten four lengths. Capable against these if she can avoid a wide trip.
3rd pick: #2 (Spirited Flight) (5-1) - She debuted in the same last race that "Dixie" exits, and the pair finished on even terms. Useful first outing, and she can factor with normal second out improvement.
4th pick: #8 (Senorita Sangria) (12-1) - Debuting filly has some good works on view, and the barn (John Mazza) won with a 37-1 shot on yesterday's card that was a first-time-starter. Don't just ignore.
