Top pick: #3 (BEN'S BOOTS) - Races second back off a claim and a two month break for trainer Keith Lebarron. Filly chased and tired facing tougher on Jan.25th and drops below the $15K purchase price in this spot. Speed/stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Someothertime) - The speed of the party and she races from the rail in only her second start since last May. She set the pace before tiring to finish third here at this price on Jan. 4 and should be much fitter for this attempt. Dangerous on the front-end.
3rd pick: #4 (Change My Luck) - One-run type is a bit risky as she's broken poorly in 3 of her last 5 starts. That said, she's been competitive many times at this level and is a threat with a clean getaway.
