Top pick: #8 (RUN GIA RUN) (3-1) - Speed/stalker is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and races without blinkers. She's two for four at this trip on the dirt. The high % barn of Kirk Ziadie has her spotted to win.
2nd pick: #5 (Ladyfromhavana) (8-1) - She's consistent (12-2-2-3) sprinting on the dirt and many have come at this level. One run type is trying this mile distance for the first time. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #6 (Sylviasgivenangel) (5-2) - A popular filly at the claiming box, she's racing off a negative barn change this afternoon. Filly missed by a 'nose' at this tag & trip last out. She moves from the high energy barn of Kirk Ziadie to a small lower outfit. Can factor if she holds her form.
4th pick: #4 (Bachata Dancer) (5-1) - Speedy sort has gone 3-1-0-2 at this tag, but was beaten almost 20-lengths here at this distance last out. There is other speed signed on, but she's dangerous if allowed an uncontested early advantage.
5th pick: #10 (Fee and Sugar) (8-1) - Longshot needed well over a dozen starts to get her second win. That came here Jan. 1st at this tag & trip. No speed type may rally for a minor award at a big price.
