Top pick: #3 (JUST SAY GOODBYE) - She showed excellent speed when debuting at Delaware facing special weights in late August. Working fast at Palm Meadows for her first race since then, trainer Todd Pletcher will drop her into a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Royal Lahaina) - Filly by "Chapel Royal" raced evenly in her well-bet debut at Keeneland Oct. 29. Working fast on the local strip for this, trainer Wayne Catalano drops her into a claimer off the 70 day rest. Major factor today.
3rd pick: #1 (Miz Caroline C) - Filly raced close-up before tiring late when debuting at Calder Dec. 20. Has the rail and this grey filly by "Forest Danger" should improve second out.
4th pick: #5 (Destiny's Diva) - Woodbine invader has been competitive in several of her starts on "poly" and turf and has been training well here for the past month. She has some speed and can contend if she takes to conventional dirt.
