Top pick: #9 (MEZZANOTTE) (2-1) - Golden Gate shipper comes in good form and races off another No. California purchase by owner/trainer Angel Silva. Well-bred filly draws a nice outside post, meets a weak field, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Go Go Gracie) (6-1) - Filly has some back class and last out rallied to finish 6th of 9, beaten just over five lengths racing here at this level and trip Jan. 20. Filly appears to be coming around and is a stretch threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Margo's Delight) (5-2) - Mare missed by a "nose" here at tis level and distance on Jan. 20 and speed/stalker was running her best overall since late in 2012. An obvious win candidate today.
4th pick: #6 (I'lltakeachance) (6-1) - Mare raced evenly here last out and daughter of "Officer" can grab a share of this at a big price with just a slight move forward.
