Top pick: #2 (MY TWO ROSES) - Since arriving here from Presque Isle in late September this daughter of "Toccet" is (3-0-2-1) at this price tag and strong finisher moves to a ground saving post. Leading rider Deshawn Parker is back aboard and this 3-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Lexi Tap) - Win candidate comes off her best effort to date when she raced within range and rallied to finish second, almost 4 lengths in front of "Roses". Filly by "Pleasant Tap" has been competitive in four straight, is the probable favorite, and I almost put her on top.
3rd pick: #9 (Cryptologist) - She was competitive in a pair at this tag in November, then raced evenly last out facing tougher going shorter. Trainer Genarl Garcia brings her back in 9 days, drops her back dow, and stretches her out aagain.
4th pick: #4 (North Forest Lady) - She's been running poorly of late and was well back of the top pair last out. May grab a minor share at a big price with one of her better efforts.
