Top pick: #8 (LUCKY LIZA) - Fast daughter of "Chapel Royal" makes her first start on this circuit after shipping down from Chicago. In a new barn (Dave Fawkes)and he adds blinkers to her equipment for the first time. She has a nice gate work at Calder four days ago.
2nd pick: #2 (Mareana) - Filly made 15 starts last year and ran one of her best races in her '08 finale. Chased the pace at this tag at Calder, bid, but had to settle for second. Draws towards the inside and should do well again.
3rd pick: #6 (In Debt Joanne) - Filly ran three times in New Jersey last fall and was bet heavily each time, a sure indication that talent was present. On the sidelines since her maiden win at the Meadowlands 80 days ago, she's in a sharp barn (Cam Gambolati) and is a player.
