Top pick: #3 (OUR EPONENE) - She's the fastest of theses early and the prospect of an "off" surface would help her in the largely lightly raced field. She exits a pair of stakes races where she showed excellent speed and the drop back with maidens should do the trick.
2nd pick: #6 (Officer Big Red) - She's run well in both her starts and finished an even and wide third on Jan. 8. She'll be putting back-to-back starts together and that's a good thing. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Come Sunday) - Florida shipper runs off a three month break and for a new trainer (John Servis). Works indicate she's ready to go.
