Top pick: #5 (NEVER ENDS) (2-1) - Filly stretches out a furlong after a pace-chasing finish here going 6-furlongs Jan. 19th. She's worked twice since, and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer wins at a 23% rate second time out.
2nd pick: #8 (Wild At Heart) (5-2) - Well bet in her debut here Jan. 10th, daughter of 'Indian Charlie' chased while wide and finished two back of the winner while almost 10 clear of the show runner. Working fast for this and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Miss Centerfold) (4-1) - She's from the same barn as 'Never Ends.' Unraced since the fall, $400K daughter of 'Tiznow' finished second both starts back then. One run type is working above average and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #6 (By the Shore) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Tom Proctor, she has some impressive works on view and has Gary Stevens aboard (22% riding for Proctor). Can't be eliminated.
