Top pick: #2 (WILD AND GOTAWAY) - She's finished close-up in both races at this level since breaking her maiden here Dec 16. Home-bred has a flexible running style, draws a good post, and it's Russell Baze riding for Jerry Hollendorfer a 32% winning combination. Gets the edge in a competitive race.
2nd pick: #1 (Trappers Star) - Very competitive type has excellent early speed, draws the rail, is working well, and finished third at this level the only other time she raced at it. Home-bred should be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #4 (Global Debutante) - One of a pair entered by trainer Chuck Jenda and they'll race as separate interests. She hasn't run well in two previous tries at this level, but is coming off a win here Jan. 14 facing cheaper in the best start of her 6 race career. Has speed/stalking ability and think she'll be competitive at a nice price.
