Top pick: #4 (CLASSY SCHILLER) (12-1) - Longshot enters off a wide and even effort here on a muddy surface Dec. 23. She had a tough outside post and was facing a bit better that afternoon. Improving and filly by "Artie Schiller" has good chance at a big price.
2nd pick: #3 (Star Princess) (8-1) - She's another that had a very wide trip on a muddy track Dec. 31. That was her first ever on conventional dirt and she gets blinkers added while dropping to a new low.
3rd pick: #7 (Libby) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, Calif. bred finished fourth in her latest and will be dropping down into a career soft spot. An obvious threat at a short price.
4th pick: #9 (Don'tmesswithness) (5-1) - She has a fine record on conventional dirt 6-0-2-3 and one-run type has a nice outside post for that style. Filly ran third in her local debut in early Dec. and must be left in the mix.
