Top pick: #8 (CHARLIE'S DIVA) - Filly was claimed in mid-November at the Meadowlands by Ramon Preciado from the fine barn of Chris Clement. New connections gave her the next two months off, and she finished second in her return here at this level on Jan. 13. Slight move forward wins this.
2nd pick: #6 (Me You and Her) - Excellent maiden win last out in her first on this surface, and first for the Vaders/Auwarter training duo. Reasonably spotted in her first against winners. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #1a (Sassy In Stripes) - Had problems at the start in the same race as our top selection and never was in the race. Prior appearances say she's a contender.
