Top pick: #4 (STREET CANDY) (4-1) - Filly rallied to finish 3rd of 11, beaten 3 1/2 lengths when debuting here for a $5K tag Nov. 24. She was away slowly and was forced to check on the turn. Heavily backed that day, daughter of "Candy Ride" was claimed by owner/trainer Ardel Sayler. New barn brings her back quickly and moves her up in class.
2nd pick: #5 (Narc) (7-2) - Daughter of "Smoke Glacken" has gone 13-0-3-7 racing on conventional dirt and is 7-0-2-4 locally. One-run type has been sharp in four straight attempts and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Fu Peggi Sue) (3-1) - Speedy filly takes a big drop after tiring last out racing for a $30K tag. It was her first back off a seven-week break and first at Turf Paradise. She's never raced this low and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #1 (She's Purdee) (3-1) - Even paced sort is dropping in class and moving back in with her own sex after showing nothing here facing males on the grass Nov. 17. Has the rail and is capable of grabbing a minor award.
