Top pick: #6 (BROUGHT IT) - Talented runner had a string of three straight wins snapped last spring and immediately was sent in for a nine-month rest. Returned here on Dec. 29, and defeated a solid group with a display of big speed, breaking on top and never looking back. Can take another.
2nd pick: #4 (Bold Cleo) - Moves up in class after a series of strong starts against weaker. Likes this surface (3-2-1-0) and was claimed last out by the Doug O'Neil barn. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Zaya) - Won her latest and defeated today's second pick in the process. She's had six weeks since that race and has worked three times in the interim. She also moves up in class today.
