Top pick: #7 (SPECIAL OFFER) (3-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, she enters off a 2nd place finish here at this level going 7-furlongs just one week ago. Her connections bring her back quickly, shorten her up just a bit and she moves from the rail to the outside. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Valid Melody) (5-2) - Much improved lately, she's been razor sharp in three straight starts. Speed/stalker got her maiden win here Dec 9th and is nicely spotted in her first facing winners. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (All About Abby) (8-1) - Freshened up since her maiden win here in late Nov she was a long "neck" better than "Valid Melody" that afternoon. She fits with her best and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #3 (Great Illusion) (6-1) - Lightly raced mare enters off a wide 4th place finish here at this level on Dec 13. Nice effort and it followed a sharp maiden score in her previous start. A threat from off the pace.
