Top pick: #4 (THUNDER LILLY) - All of her main-track efforts are solid and she finished third on a sloppy surface on New Year's Day at the Fair Grounds facing special weights. Latest saw her run second on the Saratoga dirt racing for $50K and she'll drop down slightly in price. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Thunder Princess) - Races first off a claim by Gary Contessa and this New York-bred has been competitive in her three races on the dirt. New barn brings her back quickly (12 days), doubles her up in price, and she has the rail.
3rd pick: #9 (Starship Warpspeed) - Filly showed speed at Calder earlier this year on the main track before coming north, and trainer Carl Domino will drop her into a claimer this afternoon. Dangerous runner.
4th pick: #10 (Scenario Analysis) - Not sure if she'll go on the main as she made her debut almost a year ago on the grass and hasn't raced since. Working fine on the local dirt and trainer Chad Brown wins at a solid 27% rtae off of long layoffs.
