Top pick: #4 (BOW TIE BELLE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly moves up a bit in class after an easy win here going 7-furlongs for a $12.5K tag Jan. 8. It was her first race in two months and she was claimed that afternoon by George Papadromou. She's worked fine since and Bejarano stays aboard.
2nd pick: #8 (Midnight Lady) (9-2) - One-run type went evenly here at this price tag going 6-furlongs Jan. 2. It was her first in two months and she was beaten just under two lengths. Filly has worked twice since and draws a nice outside post for this 6.5-furlong distance.
3rd pick: #7 (Desert Madame) (5-1) - Stalker raced evenly while never involved for a $25K tag Jan. 1. She won her previous start at this $16K tag and cleared the 2l condition that afternoon. Drops back down and should factor at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Denotation) (6-1) - She has the best proven speed of this group. Lightly-raced filly is dropping way down in class and switching back to the dirt after two on the grass. With only one win she's skipping a condition, but her early speed still makes her dangerous.
