Top pick: #8 (I HAVE A PRICE) (7-2) - She's one of two entered by trainer Eric Kruljac and the pair race uncoupled. Stalker finished second here at this level and distance on Dec. 29. It was her first at Turf Paradise and she draws outside of what should be a quick pace. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Incentive Award) (5-2) - The second of the Kruljac fillies, she's lightly raced and still improving. Filly recovered following a poor break last out and rallied to finish second at this trip. A career best effort and it was her first on real dirt. Win candidate,
3rd pick: #5 (Boss Kitten) (4-1) - Filly is from the Diodoro barn and is moving from turf to dirt and shortening up in distance. Well bred and in shape, she will be finishing fast in this spot.
4th pick: #2 (Flattering Life) (20-1) - Longshot is racing second back off a layoff. Daughter of "Flatter" raced evenly in her return contest and was 3 1/2 lengths back of "I Have a Price." May grab a minor share at a big price.
