Top pick: #4 (ELUSIVE COOKIES) - Mare pressed the pace and held to finish third last out at this level and distance on Jan. 12. Positive effort was only her second back following a 10 1/2 month layoff and daughter of "Elusive Quality" has since come back with a quartet of sharp works. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (So She Dances) - Filly by "Tiznow" has fine early speed and is working steadily for her first start since early Sept. at Del Mar. Four-year-old has been competitive several times facing tougher fields than this and should be in this from start to finish.
