Top pick: #6 (MARK OF A GEM) (2-1) - Promising filly hasn't seen action since May 19th when she tired in a Hollywood grass sprint racing at this level. She's working fast and grey daughter of "Benchmark" can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (J and S Express) (3-1) - Veteran has five wins on her resume while the rest have six combined. Stalker has yet to win locally on the dirt, but has gone 5-0-3-2 and is working very fast for this attempt. Seven-year-old has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Always a Chance) (5-2) - Strong finisher has gone 2-1-0-1 when racing on this surface and will be going turf to dirt after a near miss here going "down the hill" on Jan. 12. In the win mix.
4th pick: #4 (Yawannagokid) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly has been competitive in all her starts (4-1-0-3) and is working fast locally for her first since early Oct. Can factor if ready.
