Top pick: #6 (JOJO'S GAL) (2-1) - She takes a big drop in price and will be stretching out in distance for her second off a 100 day absence. She's the main speed and most of trainer Wesley Ward's winner at this meet have been at this mile trip.
2nd pick: #8 (Felicidades) (6-1) - Price play races off a claim by Donna Green and she brings this filly back off a four week break at the purchase price. A sharp half-mile breeze Jan. 14 indicates a solid effort is coming.
3rd pick: #3 (Benne First Baby) (3-1) - Filly ran second here at this level going 7-furlongs on Jan. 5 in a race that was completed in very slow time. One-run type should have no problem at this mile distance and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Runaway Bridle) (8-1) - No-speed type rallied to finish a distant and non-threatening third here at this trip on Dec. 28. That was a career best, and she may get another minor award with a repeat of it.
