Premium Pick

Top pick: #10 (LA SORELLA) (3-1) - She rallied to finish fourth here at this level and distance when debuting on Jan. 4th. Trainer, Marfty Jones, has worked her five times since, and he wins at a 29% clip second time out. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Yana) (6-1) - Heavily favored on the dirt here Jan. 20th, she broke slowly and raced evenly while wide. Race was her first since finishing second in her first pair, and trainer Bill Spawr will move her to the grass for the first time. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Abide in Me) (6-1) - Speedy filly cuts back off a pair of longer events where she tired during the stretch run. Cuts back, and Bejarano is aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #3 (Beverly the Boss) (4-1) - Speedy and well-bred, she set a fast pace and tired to run third here on the dirt Jan. 19th. Improving, this will be her first on the turf.

5th pick: #9 (Dancinginthestreet) (10-1) - She's got a bit of ability and is cutting back in distance off a pair of mile trips. May grab a minor award, but needs to really step it up for any shot at the win.
