Top pick: #10 (SHAUNNA) - Daughter of "Housebuster" finished 2nd last out at this tag after returning from a 2 1/2 month break. In an underrated barn (John Fisher) and she has a fast work since her comeback race.
2nd pick: #5 (Hymn For Her) - Claimed on Dec. 27, for $25,000 by the high profile Mike Gill/Tim Hooper combination. Filly has had a month to get with their program and she's confidently raised in price. Contender.
3rd pick: #9 (Henbird) - Speed/stalker drops back into a claimer after a pace-pressing try against tougher maiden-special foes. Gray daughter of "Maria's Mon" finished a solid third in her debut at this tag.
4th pick: #4 (Paula And Pat) - Filly showed good speed in her debut at Penn National on the day after Christmas. Drops into a claimer today and daughter of "Brahms" could improve on the drop.
