Top pick: #3 (WAH MEI) - Filly has finished second in her last pair, both on the Churchill dirt. She hasn't run on a synthetic surface since November of '08 at Woodbine and she showed some speed at that time. In shape and can win this if she takes to the footing.
2nd pick: #9 (Rainbow Luck) - Stalker raced evenly here on Dec. 6 and finished two lengths behind today's rival "Russet Mantel". Draws a nice post for this 6.5 furlong trip and she set for a top try by a good barn (Wayne Mogge).
3rd pick: #4 (Russet Mantel) - Good speed shown in her debut as she battled through fast and contested fractions before tiring to finish third. Any move forward would make her a win threat.
