Top pick: #1 (A REAL JEWEL) - Speedy veteran showed some life last out for the first time since coming back from a 6 month break in late October. Has the rail, is in a winning barn, and trainer Angel Silva will remove this mare's blinkers.
2nd pick: #7 (Proud Y Bonita) - Another who showed some of her old form last out for the first time since last may. She was away from action for 6 1/2 months and looks to be coming around.
3rd pick: #6 (Heinous) - Veteran mare raced evenly here at this level going 4.5 furlongs just 16 days ago in her first race in 7 weeks. Barn brings her back on short notice and she can factor at a square price.
