Top pick: #7 (CELTIC HEARTBEAT) - Lightly-raced grey filly finished third of seven, beaten a 1/2 length here at this level going 7 furlongs on a very muddy surface Nov. 29. Barn (Juan Guerrero) brings her back quickly and shortens her up in distance today. Gets a slight edge in a very tough race.
2nd pick: #1 (Taste the Punch) - She finished second at Penn National last out facing $13K Pa-breds in her second back off a two month break. Has some speed, draws the rail, and leading rider (Kendrick Carmouche) is aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (Isaidi'dnever) - Speedy filly broke her maiden in impressive style here two back racing for $12.5K, then tired at this level and distance last out in her first facing winners. Her speed makes her dangerous.
