Top pick: #2 (EARLY GLORY) (7-2) - Fla. bred ships in from Penn National where she set a pressured pace and held to finish second there for a $10K tag Feb. 11th. It was only her second since coming off a 6 1/2 month layoff in early Dec. and first for trainer Marc Zulueta. Can take this with minimal improvement.
2nd pick: #8 (Newly Fashioned) (5-2) - Freshened up since Jan. 13th, she's taking a big drop in class for her return. Speedy 4yo is from a winning barn (Bob Reid, Jr.) and is a strong factor at a short price.
3rd pick: #7 (Kinda Sexy) (5-1) - Filly drops in class following a pair of even efforts facing weaker. Stalker fits nicely with this group and has gone 15-1-5-2 here during her career. In the 3-horse win mix.
4th pick: #5 (Bellesforsamantha) (3-1) - Filly has raced evenly in both starts at this level since breaking her maiden here on Jan. 6th. She should get a quick pace to rally into if good enough.
