Top pick: #12 (CUVEE MADAME) - She was a convincing maiden winner going 7 furlongs on Jan. 2, then was eliminated at the start in her first facing winners a week ago. Mare still improved her position that afternoon and can take this with a clean getaway.
2nd pick: #9 (Mayday Maria) - Price play has a new trainer (Scott Lake) and he'll shorten her up in distance and drop her to a new low in price. Grey filly by "Maria's Mon" has a near bullet work here nine days ago and looks set for a big effort.
3rd pick: #3 (Nuevo Dinero) - She improved a bit last out when she raced evenly here racing for $15K on Jan. 9. Runs third off a three-month layoff and has her price halved for this.
