Top pick: #2 (SPEAK PEACE) - Fast filly is lightly raced, well-bred, and still improving. She went wire-to-wire here last out on Nov. 18th to clear the first-level allowance condition for Illinois-breds and will move up to the next step this afternoon. Repeat of her latest takes another.
2nd pick: #3 (Shake N Quake) - Talented 3yo is in a winning barn (Jim DiVito) and won here almost two months ago at the direct expense of tyhe top pick. Has a flexible style, continues to work fast, and she's a major factor.
