Top pick: #7 (SABINO STORM) - Longshot strteches-ot in distance and a very good barn (Molly Pearson) will move her to the grass for the first time. Filly raced evenly last out sprinting and that was her first back off a 11 1/2 month layoff. Can surprise the field at a nice price.
2nd pick: #5 (Makinyourmark) - Another longshot he chased and tired sprinting here at this level Dec. 12 and that was his first back off a three month break. Working very fast and he'll run today with blinkers added.
3rd pick: #9 (Gummy Runner) - He showed good early speed two back at this level and distance in his first on the grass, then just missed last out when he ran in a dirt sprint. Very dangerous with his speed.
4th pick: #3 (Valid Thoughts) - Gelded son of "Valid Expectations" moves back to the turf after a trio of dirt races at this level. Four-year-old was competitive in three races here on the grass last fall and should be again today.
