Top pick: #5 (VOW ME OVER) (3-1) - She has early speed and last out finished fourth of 12. beaten 3 1/2 lengths going down the hill here facing tougher on Jan. 3. It was her first since Nov. 13 and this afternoon trainer Mark Glatt drops her in class, switches her from turf to dirt, and stretches her out in distance. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #3 (Stella Moon) (5-2) - Filly tired after chasing a fast pace when debuting here going 6-furlongs Jan. 19. Daughter of "Malibu Moon" took some betting action that afternoon in a strong field. Trainer Vlad Cerin brings her back quickly, drops her down, and sends her longer.
3rd pick: #4 (Sweet Renata) (7-2) - Filly was bet down to 4-5 when debuting on Dec. 5 at Los Alamitos facing fellow Calif. bred special weights. She had some early traffic issues and raced evenly in a contest won by almost 10-lengths by the very talented 'Bad Ju Ju'. Factors today.
4th pick: #1 (Lillies and Roses) (12-1) - Longshot was never involved after breaking from a tough outside post here going a mile facing tougher Jan. 2. She had run better in her previous start and is dropping down a bit and breaking from the rail. May grab a share at a big price.
