Top pick: #8 (PROM DRESS) (3-1) - Filly from the Pletcher barn ships back from Tampa Bay Downs where she finished a pace-chasing third facing special weights on Jan. 3. She's cutting back to a one-turn mile, drops in class, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #9 (General Ann) (4-1) - Debuting daughter of 'Colonel John' has been in steady training at Palm Meadows since mid-November. Trainer Chad Brown wins at a 21% rate first out and a 27% clips when riding J.J. Castellano. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Magical Vanity) (10-1) - She has good early speed and will be dropping in class while switching from turf to dirt. Virginia bred continues to work fast on the local dirt and is a contender at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Ocean Foam) (15-1) - Another switching from grass to dirt. Daughter of "Mineshaft" has shown some speed and is dropping to a new low in price. May contend at long odds.
