Top pick: #4 (Petrezza) - Filly had no chance in her latest as she broke slowly and tired after rushing up to chase the pace. Daughter of "Petionville" has plenty of back class and can win this with a stretch rally with a clean start.
2nd pick: #1 (She'sa Beautyqueen) - Lightly-raced filly by "Strong Hope" drops into a claimer after chasing a fast pace after breaking from a tough outside post last out in a Penn National allowance run on a sloppy track. Has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Empire Diva) - Races first off a claim by Ed Auwarter (a 27% winning angle) and she's finished second in two straight racing for $10K after clearling the 2l condition here at this $16K tag Jan. 9. Factors today.
