Top pick: #3 (FIFTYSHADESOFFUN) (7-5) - The morning line favorite, 4-year-old is lightly raced, speedy, and is racing off a 7-week freshening. When last in action she set a quick and pressured pace before weakening to check in second at this level and distance Feb 22. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (L X Sunrise) (2-1) - Stalker has finished second in 9 of 11 starts on the local dirt. Two of those placings have come at this mile distance and she enters in good form. Dangerous from close range.
3rd pick: #4 (Tiz a Funtime) (7-2) - Mare is racing for the first time since Oct 10 when she ran evenly here at this distance facing tougher. Working steadily and above average, she's well bred, and her last effort before the layoff saw her run a career best figure in her first ever on conventional dirt.
