Top pick: #1 (NIFTY SHINDIG) (3-1) - Consistent mare 12-3-4-2 finished second here for a $20K tag Jan. 15 in her first since early June. Speed/stalker was claimed that day by Jayson Servis (27% off the claim) and he's got her nicely spotted off a seven week freshening.
2nd pick: #2 (Wholelotaroyalty) (2-1) - Filly has won two in a row at this meet, the latest was a hard-fought score at this trip on Jan. 26 when facing a bit tougher. Fits, has a flexible style, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Malibu Moonshine) (5-1) - Speedy mare had no chance here on Jan. 16 in her local debut after breaking slowly. Capable with her best and she draws outside of the other pace. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Four Aria) (4-1) - Tough call as Dizney home-bred ships back from Tampa Bay Downs after she tired after setting a quick/pressured pace in a small stakes. Trainer Dave Fawkes drops her into a straight claimer for the first time, and Fla.-bred is a factor with her best.
