Top pick: #6 (HOT LITTLE THANG) (2-1) - The main speed in this abbreviated sprint (5-furlongs), filly has finished second in three straight starts here at this level. The latest came at this distance on Jan. 6 and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Beasty) (9-5) - No. California invader goes turf to dirt, takes a big drop in price, and shortens up in distance. She's been competitive in all four starts and ran third at Stockton in her only previous effort on real dirt.
3rd pick: #5 (Game Kick) (6-1) - Daughter of "Tribal Rule" tire when debuting on Jan. 6 and was 11 lengths back of "Thang." It would be no surprise for normal second out improvement to make her a threat.
4th pick: #1 (Society's Joy) (12-1) - Daughter of "Friend's Lake" ran evenly when debuting here on Dec. 8 for a $25K tag. She drops down, draws the rail, and filly has the shortest way home.
