Top pick: #5 (MY MARLIE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she rallied to finish second to a "much the best" winner here on Nov. 24 and she's now been sharp in three straight since returning from a two month break in August. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Point Liberty) (7-2) - She rallied from far back to miss by a neck here at this level and distance in her second back from almost a nine month layoff. Obvious win candidate with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #8 (Tiz My Prayer) (3-1.) - Speedy sort was less than a length off of "Marlie" last out and she has dangerous early speed in a race without much pace on paper.
