Top pick: #6 (DYLBUG) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she rallied to finish third here at this tag Dec. 23. She had raced evenly in her previous start when debuting facing male rivals. In the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Motor' n Mona) (8-1) - Price play is racing second off a two month break and don't believe she cared for the muddy surface in her return run. She just missed here in late October at this level and filly has the best early speed of this field. A strong win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Ally Quien) (9-2) - Speed/stalker has finished second in three of her last four local starts. The tag and trip are fine and she should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #8 (I Dream Big) (10-1) - New Mexico invader is another with early speed. She's lightly-raced and comes here after being in a pair of high-percentage barns at Zia and Sunland Parks. Don't just dismiss her.
