Top pick: #5 (FLUXX) - Filly has been competitive in her last three starts facing special weights and undergoes some changes today. Trainer Pete Miller will drop her into a claimer for the first time, add blinkers, and run this daughter of "Bluegrass Cat" on real dirt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Bella's Fantasy) - One of a pair entered by trainer Bob Baffert and the two fillies will race uncoupled. Working fast for this, she runs off a two-month break and will stretch-out in distance.
3rd pick: #9 (Play Misty For Us) - Filly rallied to finish second here sprinting for $30K on Dec. 29 and will stretch-out in distance this afternoon. Nice work on the Jan. 14 indicates she's ready for the challenge.
