Top pick: #12 (MY SWEET REVENGE) - Filly ships here for a very good Chicago barn (Tammy Domenosky) and draws a nice outside post for today's attempt. Daughter of "Vindication" chased and tired as the favorite here Jan. 2, but that race was dominated by an 11 length winner. Filly has the best early speed of this group and will tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Blondie Ruth) - 5-year-old mare has been competitive in her last five starts, all at this price tag, with most coming at or around this distance. One run type finished close-up third last out at Calder and a repeat of that performance makes her a threat this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (Al's Angel) - Has a bit of early speed and finished second in two straight starts, both coming at this tag. Capable of stalking and that's what she'll need to do today as the top choice will probably be on the front-end. Can factor with a patient ride.
