Top pick: #12 (SI MAR'S DEAR) - She's (4-1-2-1) since being claimed by trainer Mike Mitchell last October and grey filly finished second here on Jan. 8 racing for $10.5K going 6 furlongs. Speed/stalker drops down a bit and draws a nice post for this 7 furlong trip. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Lauren C) - Stalker has a big bullet 5-furlong breeze a week ago as she races for only the fourth time since last March. Has back class, fits nicely with this group, and is a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #14 (Small But Mighty) - Runs first off a Jeff Metz claim and he brings her back six weeks later at the purchase price and takes her blinkers off. Working fast for this, and the outside post is a plus.
