Top pick: #7 (WOODSLANDSWAY) (8-5) - Filly moves up in class as she seeks her sixth win in a row. She's four-for-four at this meet and last out earned a career best figure. She has a nice post, can rate a bit if necessary, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (River of Aces) (4-1) - Speed/stalker is another moving up in class following a pair of solid second place finishes at this meet. They came after returning from a 100-day break in late October and should be competitive again this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (My Names Mud) (6-1) - Consistent filly has gone 12-4-3-3 racing on the dirt and is 4-1-2-1 locally. In shape, has a flexible style, and she has the rail. Cal bred must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Ms P K Blue) (6-1) - She finished fourth here on Dec. 2 and was only a length back of "River of Aces." It was her first back from a six month layoff and she was "bumped" heavily at the break. Filly probably needed the start and can grab a share with normal second back improvement.
