Top pick: #1a (SKYLEEN) - Filly finished a pace-pressing 3rd here at this level and distance Nov 7 in her first start back off almost a 10 month break. 3yo acted up before the start that day, and that may have contributed to her losing effort. Good barn brings her back quickly for this and she's the likely winner with any improvement.
2nd pick: #1 (Princess Bluecreek) - Runs coupled in the wagering with the top pick and she's a strong win contender in her own right. Races with blinkers on and first time for trainer Angel Silva (a strong 29% winning angle). She's a nice compliment to her running mate.
3rd pick: #4 (Jeta's Lil Red) - Speedy filly has run well in her last 4 starts, all at this $5K price tag. She's had the lead turning for home in all of those, but has tired in each one and will need to hang on stronger today to have a shot at the win.
