Top pick: #5 (ENJOY THE WIN) - Mare finished third here at this level on Nov. 7, then finished fourth in an entry-level allowance sprinting on the grass at Laurel on two weeks later. Rested up for almost six weeks, she drops back down, moves back to the dirt, and stretches back out in distance. The horse to beat in a tough race.
2nd pick: #6 (Dancing Moment) - Mare is (5-2-1-1) since returning from a seven-month layoff in July. Stalker moves up in price, but is sharp right now and relatively fresh. Can factor this afternoon.
3rd pick: #2 (Third Time Lucky) - Veteran moves up in price and stretches-out in distance after winning a 7-furlong race on Dec. 5. She loves this surface (15-4-4-2) and is (5-1-2-0) at this trip.
