Top pick: #2 (FIGHT THE FEELING) - Speedy filly is working very fast for her forst start off a Ramon Preciado claim on Oct. 10th and a subsequent two month layoff. Well-bred and lightly raced, she can win this on the front-end at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (A Plus) - The probable favorite finished 2nd here at this level and distance Nov. 15th in her first against winners. Stalker is well-bred and in a top barn (Steve Klesaris). She'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Nephelia) - Filly dominated a field of $25K maidens on Oct. 16th and trainer Allen Iwinski has given her almost two months off since that score. Has the rail and the ability to rally in a race where the pace could be fast. Stretch threat.
