Top pick: #3 (CLEAR CUT) - She won at Churchill on Nov. 24 racing at this price in her second start back off a seven-week rest. Good barn (George Arnold) has her on her toes and she's won twice in three starts on this "all weather" track. Can take another from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #8 (Wedding Diamond) - She loves the local footing (7-3-3-0) and speed/stalker drops and runs second back off a four month vacation. She draws a nice post for the distance and is drawn outside of the speed. She'll be a handful.
3rd pick: #5 (Vick's Violet) - Runs first off a Joe Woodard claim (a 26% winning move) and she brings the best early speed to the contest. Filly is two for three locally and is a big danger.
