Top pick: #8 (LADY OF GREATNESS) - She's (3-1-2-0) since being claimed in late October by the leading trainer at this meet (Jamie Ness). 5yr.old mare just failed last out in a tough $32K claimer sprinting on the grass here Jan.29th. Barn brings her back quickly, sends her back to the dirt, and stretches her out in distance. She draws outside of the speed and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #2 (Fortune Play) - Working fast for her first start since last October at Monmouth and she's capable of doing some late damage in this field at a nice price. Needs to be at her best off the layoff.
3rd pick: #5 (Pay The Man) - Hard-hitting veteran mare has 16 lifetime wins and is a stakes winner many times over in her native Ohio. No slouch facing "open" foes and this speed/stalker should be in this from start-to-finish.
