Top pick: #8 (KINDA SEXY) (5-1) - Price play has done all of her best work locally 10-0-4-2 and last out she tired to finish fourth here at this level. Filly moves out in the gate and speed/stalker has all the other pace to her left in the gate. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Entry of 1-Union Square and 1a-Loan Guarantee) (5-2) - Strong entry is coupled due to common ownership. "Union Square" set/pressed a pressured pace before weakening to check in fourth here going a mile for a $40K tag Nov. 28. It was her first in 10 weeks and first off a trainer change to Bob Mosco. He brings her back in 12 days and will shorten her up in distance and drop her in class.
3rd pick: #4 (Valid Melody) (3-1) - Long time maiden enters off of a pair of back-to-back strong efforts here at this level. Stalker can factor again this afternoon with a repeat of either of her latest figures.
