Top pick: #8 (THIS IS SO MUCH FUN) (3-1) - Well backed in both her starts, filly finished second here when debuting at this tag going 6 furlongs Dec. 21, then tired after setting a very fast pace in a two-turn grass race on Jan. 13 racing for a $35,000 price. Trainer Tim Hamm drops her back down and moves her back to the main-track. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Princess Appeal) (6-1) - Price play has shown good early speed in a pair of starts facing tougher and will drop to a new low today. Castellano stays put and that's always a good sign.
3rd pick: #5 (Johanna Honey) (4-1) - When last in action at Churchill in late Nov this filly rallied to finish second at odds of 30-1 racing for a $15K tag. In the barn of Ken McPeek and he's worked her four times at Payson Park in the past 27 days.
4th pick: #3 (Starship Chloe) (12-1) - Longshot showed some early speed last out facing tougher going two-turns in the local lawn on Jan 13th. Trainer Steve Dwosin will drop her way down in price, race her dirst for the first time, and shorten her up in distance.
5th pick: #7 (Windsor Garden) (8-1) - She finished a pace-setting second here at this price going a "flat" mile on Dec. 28 and has been freshened up since that time. Home-bred worked a nice half-mile Feb. 7, but needs to step it up some today.
