Top pick: #2 (AGAVE KISS) - Undefeated filly has been untested on the front end in her trio of wire-to-wire wins. Daughter of "Lion Heart" looks like the controlling speed again and she comes off a career best when winning the $75K Ruthless Stake here at this trip on Jan. 14. Very tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Alydarla) - Gulfstream invader is a "new face" in the crowd and last out she finished second there in a small sprint stakes on the grass. She was an impressive maiden winner at Saratoga last summer on the dirt and draws the rail for this attempt.
