Top pick: #9 (HOLISTIC) - Lightly-raced filly failed in a stakes attempt at Aqueduct on Dec. 14, but raced in heavy traffic and wasn't beaten bt much. Daughter of "Holy Bull" broke her maiden here last winter and is a serious player as she tries a distance off three return sprints. The pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Grace Happens) - She's the speed closest to the rail and although winless (5-0-1-3) on this course, has some fine efforts to her credit. Daughter of "Aptitude" has a trio of local works in the past couple of weeks. Threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Indian Blossom) - She's picked up her game of late with the switch to conventional dirt at Hawthorne. Has a win and a strong second in her last pair and has a very sharp work on this surface Jan. 11.
