Top pick: #8 (ZENSATIONAL BEAUTY) (6-1) - One of two from the Baffert barn, and this filly showed excellent early speed before tiring when debuting at Hollywood Dec. 22nd. Working fast since then, and grey daughter of "Zensational" will be tough to catch.
2nd pick: #7 (Faith Love Hope) (9-2) - Well-backed in her debut at Hollywood on Dec. 14th, she was involved in a pace-duel from the start, and only tired in the final 1/16th to check in third. She's worked three times since, and Bejarano stays aboard.
3rd pick: #11 (Midnight Dream) (10-1) - The second of the Baffert pair, she also has sharp early speed and will be switching from turf to dirt in her third appearance. Working fast, and she's a threat at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Beverly the Boss) (8-1) - Blinkers go on filly who raced evenly here when debuting on Dec. 29th. The Miller barn (20% second time out) brings her back quickly and wins at a 23% clip when adding the "hood."
5th pick: #10 (If You Like It) (6-1) - She debuts off of some sharp works for the Hollendorfer barn (33% first out), and some of the drills are quick moves from the gate.
