Top pick: #3 (SUN CITY) (7-2) - Old timer has 23 lifetime wins while the rest of this small field has 24 combined. Speed/stalker just failed last out at this level going 6.5-furlongs on Feb. 11. It was her second back from a 7-week freshening and she can defeat the presumed favorite with a small step forward.
2nd pick: #5 (Sacred Delight) (8-5) - The probable favorite, she enters off a pace-setting/pressing effort here at this level on Feb. 6. Calif. bred has back class and should be involved every step. Win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #6 (Minnewawa) (9-2) - Stretch runner raced evenly last out and was a bit over two lengths back of "Sun City." Mare had finished second in her previous pair and would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.
