Top pick: #6 (HIJRA) (7-2) - Irish bred has a flexible style and finished second here at this level and distance Dec. 28th. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer worked her four times in January, and she's back with Bejarano aboard. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Gender Agenda) (5-2) - The probable favorite, English bred mare is dropping in class following four straight stakes races. She finished second in two of those and was competitive in the other pair. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (One More) (6-1) - The probable main speed, filly is stretching out in distance for her second back from an 8-month layoff. She tired while wide in a G2 stakes here on Jan. 4th and is dangerous on the front end.
4th pick: #5 (Elektrum) (7-2) - Irish-bred and French raced, she has talent and is working well for her first since mid-July. Can factor, but filly gives away a recency edge to the top three selections.
