Top pick: #1 (ROYAL SIGHTING) - Much improved since coming back from a 70 day layoff in early Jan. and a switch to the dirt by trainer Pat Kelly. Filly by the late "Rahy" has the rail, good positional speed, has the best last race, and meets weak field. The top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Bernardette) - She's one of a pair of fillies by "A.P.Indy" entered by trainer Tom Albertrani and they'll race uncoupled. She finished a wide pace-chasing 2nd here at this level Dec.5th and has been on the sidelines since. Dominguez is aboard and this runner out of champion mare Cara Rafaela looks like the only danger.
