Top pick: #9 (SHAMELESS) - Probable favorite was very sharp in her latest, her third race since coming off a long layoff at the start of the fall. Effort was the best of her career and only her second of six on conventional dirt. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Champagne Jane) - She has some positional speed and fits the race on figures. Daughter of "Hero's Tribute" will be making the first start of her career on real dirt.
3rd pick: #2 (Sapphiresndiamonds) - The battled tested combo of trainer Neil Howard and jockey Robbie Albarado combine on this filly who's been racing at various levels and distances. Fits this group and is a contender. Well-bred and very expensive $1,450,000. Can compete here.
4th pick: #4 (Patti's Regal Song) - Filly finished a distant third in her debut came back to win again yesterday and looks like she has a big future. This runner goes second out for a barn (Eric Reed) that's very good second-time out (23%).
