Top pick: #5 (SHOO GEE) - Very speedy filly finished a close-up fourth last out on the main track here in her first start off a 8 month layoff. Working fast for this and trainer Walt Solis will move her to the turf and names Valenzuela to ride. She has a pair of bullet works since her return run and should be very tough with any improvement.
2nd pick: #4 (Lunch Time Diva) - Cuts back in distance and moves to the turf in this attempt after dispointing as the favorite last out going two turns. Daughter of "Posse" had finished second in her first 3 starts and was brought back quickly for this by trainer Dave Hofmans. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Hey Maria) - Daughter of "Maria's Mon" raced evenly here on the main track Dec. 31 in her first start in almost four months. The winner of that race is a very talented filly and this runner will move to the grass for this attempt. Working fast and she's bred to handle the surface switch.
