Top pick: #5 (WARREN'S ASSASIN) - Home-bred filly rallied to finish second here at this price and distance on Jan. 15 and is clearly improving. Trainer Jorge Gutierrez had her work a half-mile Jan. 29 and 3-year-old meets a weak field. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Belle Gallantry) - The probable favorite moves back to the dirt and drops back to face claimers after she broke slowly and weakened after being sent hard facing special weights on the grass here Jan. 13. She'd finished third in her previous start on the local dirt at this price going a mile. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Singmeasong) - English-bred filly is by a top stallion (Singspiel)and will be making her North American debut off a five month layoff. She had a bullet half-mile drill on Jan. 7 and races with blinkers on. Can factor in this weak group.
