Top pick: #2 (ARGUE MY CASE) - Price play races third back off a 4 1/2 month layoff and will cut back a bit in distance after a wide and even trip last out going a mile. Trainer Vlad Cerin brings her back quickly, Espinoza stays put, and she can take this at a generous mutuel.
2nd pick: #6 (Miss Bold Topper) - She ran well here on Dec. 31 despite being "bumped" hard at the start and filly had finished second in her previous run at Hollywood at this tag. Stalker is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Annie Lou) - Lightly-raced mare finished a non-threstening third last out at this price on Dec. 2. Effort was her first in just over eight months and trainer Jack Carava has worked her four times since. Factors today.
