Top pick: #4 (TALK TO ME) (3-1) - She enters off a career best when she finished second of 12, beaten just under two lengths racing at this level and distance Nov. 21. Home-bred can take this with a repeat of the "figure" earned that day.
2nd pick: #7 (Maybry's Fortune) (6-1) - Price play has faced tougher in her last pair following a Gary Sciacca claim and he drops her back into a claimer for this attempt. Blinkers go on and grey filly is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Here Comes Stoney) (5-1) - Home-bred was bet down to favoritism when debuting on Nov. 21 and after chasing the pace she tired to check in 8th of 12, beaten 12 1/2 lengths. That came facing state-bred special weights and trainer Bruce Levine drops her down for start #2.
4th pick: #6 (See Me Sometime) (5-1) - Debuting filly is from a good barn (Chris Clement 21% first out), she has a decent series of works on view. Can factor if ready.
