Top pick: #8 (T A'S BAY) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she finished a pace-chasing third here at this tag on Oct. 1. It was her second back from an 11-month layoff and she was claimed that day by Steve Asmussen (21% first off the buy). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Lana Cat) (7-2) - She hasn't seen action since Nov. 9, of 2013 when she showed nothing facing better. Filly had finished second in three straight prior to that at this level and she's a strong win threat if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (Joann's Spirit) (8-1) - She runs off a private purchase by owner/trainer Mark Buehrer and filly has shown fine early speed in both starts at this level. She breaks from the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #10 (Taylor's Red Dawn) (9-2) - She's been competitive in three straight and has a speed/stalking style. Filly fits on figures and should impact this evening.
5th pick: #4 (Dare Ya) (20-1) - Debuting filly is working steadily and may grab a small share at a big price if ready.
