Top pick: #3 (YA WANNA HUG) - She's raced evenly in her first pair facing state-bred special weights and will drop into a claimer and go turf to dirt in this spot. Daughter of "Bertrando" has a bullet 3-furlong drill here just four days ago and looks all set for her maiden win.
2nd pick: #4 (Call Me Lucy) - Filly raced evenly facing tougher when debuting at Hollywood five weeks ago and trainer Ron McAnally will drop her into a claimer this afternoon. Probably has more talent than she showed in her first outing.
3rd pick: #5 (Here Comes Bonnie) - Home-bred daughter of "Benchmark" missed by a nose facing $30K "open" foes at Hollywood on Dec. 4 and is working fast locally for this attempt. She's been bet in both outings and is a threat again in this spot.
