Top pick: #6 (KITTY CITY) - Her trainer (Jamie Ness) has been "on fire" since the beginning of this meet and has saddled 15 winner from 35 starters heading into today. This filly won here facing weaker just 13 days ago in her first local appearance and 2nd off a re-claim by Ness and a 7 week freshening. Strong finisher has a lot of speed to her left in the gate and is the choice to win another.
2nd pick: #3 (Noontime Diva) - Drops slightly afer setting a pressured pace and weakening to finish 4th here 14 days ago racing for $8000. Veteran mare likes this distance (1020202) and the last time ran under $8K she was an easy winner at Thistledown in late September.
3rd pick: #1 (Tribal Mistress) - Races 2nd back off a three month break and she tired in her return start here Dec 23rd. Set up well as her connections drop her in price and turn her around quickly, but this claimer drew very tough. May hang on for a share.
