Top pick: #8 (MUD CREEK) - Veteran mare just missed last out to today's rival "High Cry" when that filly out-gamed this grey 6yo right on the wire. Believe that the added 2 furlongs of this contest works in this runner's favor and she's the top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (High Cry) - Daughter of "Street Cry" is 2-for-2 since a claim by the leading trainer here (Jamie Ness) in mid-January. Reliable, consistent, she has both speed andstalking ability, and has beaten Mud Creek in both her wins. Almost put her on top.
3rd pick: #5 (No Acronyms) - Speed/stalker ran third last out to the top pair after setting the pace to mid-stretch. She can rate if necessary and this veteran has a shot at the exacta with a bit of improvement.
