Top pick: #5 (JETT BABE) - Nice effort last out saw this filly by "Groovy Jett" race close-up, gete "blocked" momentarily on the far turn, and continue on to finish second of 10, beaten three lengths. Race was her first in 4 1/2 months and she's come back with a pair of solid drills. The top pick in a contentious opener.
2nd pick: #2 (Scheur Shot) - Mare hasn't raced since Sept. 22 when she raced evenly in a two-turn turf race at Louisiana Downs facing state-bred special weights. Drops in price, goes grass to dirt, and draws a good post. Threat at this level.
3rd pick: #4 (Sticker) - She raced wide and finished third here on Nov. 12 racing at this distance. Effort was her first in 2 1/2 months and daughter of "Cactus Ridge" is working well since.
