Top pick: #6 (CATNIPPER) (2-1) - Filly has a new trainer (Tony Dutrow 34% with new arrivals) and has some changes this afternoon. New barn runs her off a 2 1/2 month break, adds blinkers, moves her from turf to dirt, and drops her way down in class.
2nd pick: #7 (Sethna) (3-1) - After breaking slowly in her debut filly raced evenly and between horses while checking in sixth of 12, beaten 10 1/2 lengths going 7 furlongs on the Churchill dirt Nov. 23. Working well since, and trainer Bill Mott will stretch her out in her second appearance.
3rd pick: #5 (Tahima) (8-1) - Speedy sort has finished second in six of her 14 starts and ran third last out on a sloppy surface. She should be involved from start to finish at a nice price.
