Top pick: #3 (FEMME FATALE) (3-1) - Mare is one of two entered by trainer Eric Reed and the pair race uncoupled. She ships from Turfway Park in shape and moving back to the grass, her preferred surface 9-2-2-2. Stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (What the Word) (7-2) - Hard hitting mare has been freshened up since Dec 5. She has a new trainer (Bret Calhoun 27% with new stock) and she was in sharp form on the Remington Park dirt when last in action. Daughter of 'Toccet" has gone 4-2-1-1 on the turf and is a win threat if ready.
3rd pick: #5 (Pacoma P) (6-1) - The 2nd of trainer Eric Reed's pair, she's lightly raced and speedy. She's one for one on the grass, and that came here last March. She went gate-to wire at this distance while earing a career best 'figure'. Very dangerous.
4th pick: #7 (Katrina Nicole) (5-1) - She's from the same barn (Bret Calhoun) as 'What the Word' and ships from the Fair Grounds. Mare is 4 for 5 on the grass, a strong finisher, and must be left in the mix.
