Top pick: #3 (JIDDY) - Filly ships back from Aqueduct where she set the pace until the 1/4 pole and tired to finish fifth of seven. Race was her first in almost 100 days and it came facing special weights. Trainer Tony Dutrow drops her into a claimer for the first time and will add blinkers.
2nd pick: #7 (Across the Track) - Well backed in her debut Dec. 28, she chased the pace, made a wide bid, and tired to finish fourth of seven, beaten just over 4 lengths in a sprint facing special weights. Trainer Graham Motion has given her six weeks to recover and will stretch her out in distance and drop her into a claimer. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Robinera's Afleet) - Daughter of "Northern Afleet" showed some speed and finished evenly here on a sloppy track facing special weights going a mile Jan. 17. That was a decent debut and she's another falling into the claiming ranks for the first time.
