Top pick: #5 (BESO DEL SUR) - Nice maiden win at Calder in late December as she rallied intelligently after breaking slowly to get up for the win. Tried a tough allowance field in her first against winners and drew a tough post (10) and ran evenly. Drops into a claimer this afternoon for the Pletcher barn, and she's the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #3 (Chatter Wine) - Returns today off a layoff for Bill White and will drop in value and move back to the grass. Player at a nice price.
3rd pick: #7 (Mollyisintheclouds) - Stretch runner has run well in three of her last four starts. Drops to a career soft-spot and is a late threat to run them all down.
