Top pick: #5 (NOONTIME DIVA) - A bit light on her "figures" she makes up for thst with more early speed than most entered here. Veteran mare runs for only the third time since late October and has a sharp half-mile brezze in preparation for her return. She likes this surface (7-2-1-2) and is (4-1-1-1) at this particular distance.
2nd pick: #2 (Elissa Greeley) - She has some early speed and is lightly raced. Races first off an Anthony Ferraro claim and he'll drop her down in price and cut her back in distance. Barn is having a rough time of it at this meet (0 for 24).
3rd pick: #6 (My Best China) - She just failed at this level going two-turns here on Jan. 19 after sgipping here from Gulfstream. Mare cuts-back in distance for this and is a major factor against this group.
