Top pick: #5 (CHINA GOLD) (3-1) - Filly cost a "cool" $230K and last out on Jan. 3 she showed good early speed before tiring late to finish fourth of 11, beaten two lengths. She drops 9lbs for this attempt and meets a field very light on experience.
2nd pick: #7 (Lovely Syn) (4-1) - Debuting daughter of "Freud" has a steady work tab showing, including a "snappy" half-mile gate breeze on Feb. 14. Her trainer (Dom Schettino) wins at a solid 20% rate first out.
3rd pick: #8 (Delta Doyenne) (7-2) - She's been prepared by Tony Dutrow (14% first out) at the Fair Hill center in Maryland and he has Junior Alvarado aloft (three for his last six for the barn).
4th pick: #1 (You Look Mahvelous) (8-1) - Price play was in trining at Palm Meadows in Florida until the New Year began and has worked five times since shipping north. Has the rail, is in a winning barn (Jay Servis), and Cornelio Velasquez is aloft.
