Top pick: #4 (PURPLE STARDUSTER) - Price play races first off a Mike Chambers claim and the high-percentage trainer has freshened her up since taking her for $25K at Hollywood Dec. 8. She's the only filly with a local win and jockey Annie Von Rosen (Chamber's main rider)comes in from Turf Paradise for the mount.
2nd pick: #6 (Maryjean) - Daughter of "Forest Wildcat" was bet heavily when debuting at Hollywood Nov. 27 and didn't disappoint her many backers with an impressive win over 12 rivals. She tired here after chasing a fast pace facing tougher on Jan. 2 in her first against winners, and trainer Vann Belvoir drops her way down for this attempt.
3rd pick: #2 (I Sense Your Luck) - She's already proven that she can run well against winners as last out she finished second on this surface racing for $20K. Drops a bit and is a threat from off the pace.
