Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (TRIBAL SPY) (4-1) - She showed fine early speed in her debuting facing "open" special weight foes on the Hollywood grass Nov. 24, then tired after rushing up following a "bobbling' start here racing for a $75K tag Dec. 31. Drops down for this, is working fast, and trainer John Sadler removes her blinkers this afternoon.

2nd pick: #3 (Lady Katfish) (2-1) - The probable favorite, stalker has been competitive in all but one of her starts and last out finished third here facing tougher on Dec. 31. Filly defeated "Spy" that day and will take the same drop as that rival. Obvious threat.

3rd pick: #1 (Victoria's On Fire) (5-1) - She showed good early speed when debuting on July 25th at Del Mar and has been on the sidelines since. Working fast for her return, she tries real dirt, drops in price, has lasix added, and draws the rail.

5th pick: #4 (Julio's Gold) (8-1) - Home-bred exits the same Dec. 31 race as moth "Spy" and "Katfish" and tired after chasing the pace after breaking from a tough post (11th of 11). Drsw better, is working fine since, and can factor at a nice price.
