Top pick: #5 (SOFIALEONOR) (5-2) - Filly has the best form of those that have run and has finished second in three of five starts on this surface. She's racing second back from an eight week vacation and her connections will be dropping her to a new low this afternoon.
2nd pick: #4 (Purecraziluck) (2-1) - First-time-starter is from a high percentage (Kirk Ziadie) 41% overall in 2013 and 8 of 16 with debuting runners. Filly is working fine and need not be anything special to factor against these.
3rd pick: #6 (Pretty Peggy Fu) (4-1) - "Peggy" has run well on this course at 6-0-2-2, has a flexible style, and draws to the outside of the other contenders. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (The Bookkeeper) (6-1) - Bred/owned/trained by veteran Herm Wilensky, debuting filly has the rail and a sharp half-mile work from the gate here on Jan. 1.
