Top pick: #2 (FOUR PAWS) - Lightly raced this season she finished a pace-setting second last out going a mile in her first try on this surface. Good barn (Joe Woodard) shortens her up in distance, drops her a level, and she runs third off a seven-month layoff. The top pick.
2nd pick: #12 (South Side Sally) - Sophomore filly finished second last out at this level going 5.5 furlongs in her second start back from a seven week freshening. Stalker draws a nice post and gets an extra furlong to work with today.
3rd pick: #10 (Shimmery) - Daughter of "Menifee" likes the surface and finished evenly last out at this level after making a strong move turning for home. Mare raced well in a pair here during the fall meet and she's an exotics player this afternoon.
