Top pick: #4 (MIESQUE SPECIAL) - Mare by Breeder's Cup Classic winner Saint Liam has been competitive in all her starts (7-1-2-3) and broke her maiden here in impressive fashion in late January racing for $20K. Excellent barn (Brian House) has given her her 7 weeks off since then and has had her work 4 times during that freshening. Speed/stalker can be placed just abouth antwhere and can make her first start against winners a successful one.
2nd pick: #2 (Little Abbie) - Filly hasn't raced since Sep 11th when she was beaten a nose racing at this condition at Louisiana Downs in a two-turn turf contest. Capable on the dirt and a major factor if ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Wild Penny) - Fair Grounds invader comes here in sharp form and will be going turf to dirt and stretching-out a furlong. Has back class, a fine recent work, and she's won here in the past.
4th pick: #1 (Bandy Legs) - One run type has the rail and has finished 3rd in two straight at this condition without ever threatening. Stretch runner would benefit the most by a fas/and or contested pace.
