Top pick: #5 (XTRA SPICE) (2-1) - Heavily bet when debuting here on Jan. 10th, she rallied to finish second after being bumped at the start. Trainer Bill Mott has worked her twice since and ads Lasix. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Crown d'Oro) (5-1) - One of six fillies making their debuts, she's in a capable barn (Ed Kenneally), and this home bred worked a bullet half-mile here Jan. 24th. Looks set for a big effort.
3rd pick: #8 (All Too Many) (9-2) - Pletcher trained filly is going turf to dirt and shortening up in distance. She hasn't shown all that much in either start, but has taken betting action in each.
4th pick: #6 (Sonoma d'Oro) (12-1) - Another that's debuting, a sharp half-mile gate breeze at Palm Meadows on Jan. 22nd indicates she has some talent. Longshot possibilities.
5th pick: #9 (Sweet Success) (6-) - She's cutting back in distance after finishing second going a mile Dec. 28th. Working fast since, she should factor in this spot.
