Top pick: #7 (SUGARINTHEMORNING) - She finished second last out to today's rival "Teddy" in her first off a two month break and first ever on real dirt. Stalker draws a great post for this, and trainer Ron McAnally has worked her three times since that Dec. 21 contest. Set to take this.
2nd pick: #6 (Rumor) - Speedy sort is very competitive (7-4-3-0) and she likes this real dirt surface (3-2-1-0). Lightly-raced daughter of "Indian Charlie" was an easy winner her in a small stakes on Jan. 1 and is a win candidate again today.
3rd pick: #3 (Teddy's Promise) - Tremendously improved daughter of "Salt Lake" has won three in a row and last out defeated "Sugar" rather easily in the (G1) La Brea S. on this surface, at this distance. Working fine since and an obvious contender.
