Top pick: #8 (TOO FIVE N'TEN) (4-1) - Very speedy filly hasn't seen action since setting blazing fraction and tiring to finish 2nd racing for a $30K tag at Hastings Park in British Columbia on May 5th. Excellent barn (Troy Taylor) has her working in quick fashion for her return and she'll be tough to beat on the front end.
2nd pick: #7 (Sister Esperanza) (5-2) - "Sister" was competitive in a pair here last march and will be racing for the first time since the 29th of that month. Working steadily and her trainer (Bruce Headly) does well off of long layoffs (22%).
3rd pick: #3 (Pure Blush) (6-1) - Daughter of "Purim" ships back from Golden Gate Fields where she finished a disappointing 3rd as the favorite in a switched contest going a mile on Nov 16. Working fast and trainer Peter Eurton will drop her into a claimer for the first time.
