Top pick: #1 (HARLOT'S MYSTERY) (5-2) - Filly enters off a career best here on Jan. 21. Daughter of "Harlington" rallied to win a 2l allowance that afternoon and strong finisher is smartly dropped down for her first at this 3l condition. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Running for Jakob) (9-2) - Speedy sort takes a big drop after tiring in her last pair facing tougher. Freshened up since Dec. 17 and this mare's early foot makes her a win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Ciao Valentina) (4-1) - Her local turf record is a fine 9-2-2-1 and she moves up in class after finishing second here for a $6250 tag on Dec. 9. Working steadily for this and she can impact with her best.

4th pick: #6 (Fleet Classic) (7-2) - She takes the same drop as several others and was a winner here Nov. 13 the last time raced for a claiming tag. Fits, has a sharp work on Jan. 22, and must be left in the mix.
