January 4, 2011

Top pick: #6 (SWEET FATE) - She pressed a fast pace last out from an inside draw at this level and tired a bit in the last furlong to finsh fourth. Lightly-raced five-year-old mare moves off the rail and can win this from on, or just off the top.

2nd pick: #7 (No Help) - Speedy sort runs first off a Lanny Sharp claim and a two month break. Likes to win and has a shot at the top spot if she handles this surface.

3rd pick: #1 (Reason to Cry) - Very fast and she draws the rail. Training fast for her first race since early Sept., she'll be looking for her third win in a row. Filly is one of two entered by trainer Jon Zimmerman and they'll race uncoupled.
