Top pick: #4 (TIZ ANNA) (3-1) - Filly was claimed out of a solid third place when debuting at Hollywood on Dec. 9 by trainer Vlad Cerin for $28K and tired facing special weights here on Jan. 4 in her first for the new barn.

2nd pick: #2 (Sharp Bella) (9-5) - The probable favorite, she's been freshened up since Nov. 11 and will be dropping back down in class and racing on conventional dirt for the first time. She has some speed and can fator with her best.

3rd pick: #3 (Mom Nana Petrie) (5-2) - Filly took some money when debuting in late Nov. at Hollywood and raced both wide and evenly. Trainer Jeff Mullins drops her down in price, switches her to real dirt, and stretches her out around two-turns.

5th pick: #1 (Lord Kitra) (9-2) - Price play is another stretching out and she ran evenly while very wide when debuting here in a sprint Dec. 31. Has the rail and a good small barn (Janet Armstrong) has her set up nicely.
