Top pick: #8 (SONHO) - Lightly-raced filly finished a solid second here at this price Jan. 21 in her first on this surface and first off a trainer switch to Mike Chambers. Daughter of "Candy Ride" faces a very weak field and only need improve just a bit to break her maiden.

2nd pick: #12 (La Prieta Linda) - Consistent sort has finished in the money in 7 of her 11 starts and draws a nice post at this distance for her stalking style. She's finished close-up in 7 straight starts and could win this if the top pick isn't up to the task.

3rd pick: #11 (Bev's A Pistol) - Ships here from Golden Gate where she tired badly last out but this 4-year-old had been competitive in here three previous starts there. Races off a trainer switch and goes "poly" to dirt for this attempt. Her early speed makes her dangerous.

4th pick: #2 (Hollywood Mistress) - 5-year-old, lightly-raced mare hasn't run since last August when she finished second at the Ferndale Fair racing for $6250. Working well for her return and runs off a positive trainer switch to Tracie Aker and the new barn adds blinkers for this attempt.
