Top pick: #4 (RESPLENDANT REIGN) (4-1) - She moves back in with her own sex and drops down in class for this attempt. Filly was never involved last out after being bumped heavily at the break and has been freshened up since that Nov. 8 race. Working fast and I like her chances.
2nd pick: #6 (My Funny Gal) (3-1) - Speed/stalker has been competitive several times in the past facing tougher. Veteran Dan McFarland drops her into a claimer for the first time and she's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Dylbug) (5-2) - She ran evenly following a rough start when debuting here at this level and distance nine days ago. In the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, he brings her back quickly ad gives her a rider upgrade.
4th pick: #1 (Libby) (10-1) - Longshot has the rail, some competitive efforts in her past, and may grab a share at a big price with a late rally.
