Top pick: #6 (DISTORTED MUSIC) (5-2) - Very lightly raced filly by "Distorted Humor" ships down from Churchill where she broke her maiden on Nov. 23rd going 6.5-furlongs. Win came fresh off a seven week break, and was her first ever on real dirt. Good midwest barn (Chris Block) has worked her three times since coming here, and the latest was a quick 5-furlong breeze.
2nd pick: #3 (Lil Red Cozette) (5-1) - Filly hasn't raced since an impressive maiden win here on April 5. Sold privately after that, she's working fine for her new trainer (Joe Orseno), and could easily win this if ready.
3rd pick: #7 (Elusive Act) (3-1) - Speed/stalker was over-matched last out in a Turfway Park stakes, and had no chance anyway after a slow start. Her record on real dirt is 10-4-2-1, and she's a perfect two for two at this distance. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Oasis at Midnight) (6-1) - She's from the same barn as "Elusive Act," and when last in action on Oct. 22nd, she was winning at Philly Park at this distance for a $25K tag to clear the 2l condition. Working fine and fits with her best.
