Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (SCORECARD) - Grey daughter of "Tale of the Cat" has been competitive in both grass starts facing special weights, including a close-up 4th place finish here going a mile on Dec 28th. Trainer Leigh Delacour has worked her 3 times since and will drop this filly into a claimer for the first time. Looks all set for her maiden win.

2nd pick: #11 (Delovely) - English-bred filly has also been holding her own facing tougher and she has some fine early speed. 3yo has gotten better since blinkers went on two back and trainer Graham Motion will drop her into a claimer this afternoon. She's on the also-eligible list and needs one scratch inside of her to compete.

3rd pick: #2 (Aivavosky) - She's raced evenly in a pair of starts here this winter, but hasn't been able to find that extra gear turning for home. Daughter of "Rockport Harbor" has worked 3 times since her last race and should offer whatever she has in this spot.

4th pick: #8 (Sexy Suzy) - "Suzy" missed by a nose here on Dec 21st racing at this level, then showed nothing last out on a sloppy track in a contest that was switched off the turf. Stalker can factor today if race stays on the turf.
