Top pick: #1 (JARADELLA) - The probable favorite has finished second in three straight at this level, including a solid race on the "down the hill" turf course going 6.5 furlongs on Jan. 12.Race was her first since May 1st and trainer John Sadler brings her back quickly and stretches her out in distance. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Let's Go Cheyenne) - Daughter of "Tiznow" has run well in all three turf starts, and when last in action she finished second at this level going 8.5 furlongs on the Hollywood lawn on Dec. 11. Working fine for this and she looks like the major threat.

3rd pick: #8 (Soo Steamy) - She's one of a pair of fillies entered here by trainer Barry Abrams and the two will run as separate interests. This 4-year-old was off slowly in her debut and finished fifth of eight going "down the hill". Race was only two weeks ago and she'll be stretching-out in distance for this. An alert beginning is imperative.
