Top pick: #4 (SHOO GEE) - Filly finished second as the favorite in both her starts at Hollywood last spring and is working fast for her return. Has the best speed of those that have started, and Pat Valenzuela is aboard for the first time. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Pink Lollipops) - Debuting filly by "Silver Deputy" is working fast, draws the rail, and has Bejarano aloft. Trainer Bob Baffert is having an outstsnding meet and he wins at a 33% rate first out.

3rd pick: #5 (Hout Bay) - One of a pair from the barn of John Sadler and they'll race uncoupled. Working fast and this dsughter of "Harlan's Holiday" has Rosario aboard. Trainer wins at a 16% rate with first-timers.

4th pick: #10 (Jeredella) - The second of the Sadler pair also is working fast but appears to have been out-worked by her stable-mate on Jan. 10. Must be left in the exotics mix.
