Top pick: #3 (AWESOME VOW) (5-2) - Speedy Calder shipper was a winner there going 8.5-furlongs facing a bit weaker on Feb. 15. In the high-percentage barn of Jorge Navarro, this mare has gone 13-6-3-1 over the past 14 months and gets a slight edge in her local debut.
2nd pick: #1 (Malibu Mudslide) (3-1) - She races first off a Marty Wolson claim (a strong winning angle) and well-bred mare has some ability. Her rail post means she'll be sent hard at the break and 5-year-old is a threat with her best.
3rd pick: #2 (Sunset Time) (4-1) - Filly was an easy winner in an "off the turf" contest at this tag at Tampa Bay Downs on Dec. 29. Filly has a good closing kick and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
4th pick: #8 (Successful Luck) (6-1) - She looked good when rallying to win her debut going 6-furlongs here facing special weights. Stretches out, draws a nice post, and can factor at a square price.
