Top pick: #13 (SUGAR SPICE) (4-1) - Speedy and lightly-raced mare has blinkers added as she runs second off a Vann Belvoir claim. Working very fast on this strip, she finished second on it when debuting at this price-tag Oct. 14. Like her chances.
2nd pick: #12 (Holiday Rose) (6-1) - Well-bet in her debut, she had a tough outside post and did well while checking-in fourth of 13, beaten 3 1/2 lengths on Dec. 9 at Hollywood. Good second out barn (Mike Mitchell 22%) has worked her twice for this attempt.
3rd pick: #7 (My Yammy Heat) (12-1) - Improving home-bred has speed/stalking ability and will go turf to dirt, drop in class, and runs 3rd back off a 7 1/2 month layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Raisin' Cain) (12-1) - She finished second last out at Hollywood racing at this tag five weeks ago. 4-year-old has worked well locally since then and can factor with a repeat of her latest.
