Top pick: #2 (SHAMEFULLY SINFUL) (5-2) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Angel Silva and the pair race uncoupled. Speed/stalker has finished second in two stright here at this tag and will shorten up a bit and breaks just off the rail. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Summer by the Sea) (12-1) - The second of the Silva fillies, she has early speed and enters off a race where she showed speed after an early incident where she "spooked" at the 6.5-furlong gap coming out of the chute. She has the rail and will be shortening up to 5-furlongs. Win candidate at a big price.

3rd pick: #7 (Claudia's Cahill) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly ran second when debuting in late May at Emerald Downs, and was claimed that day by Bill Tollet for $7500. On the sidelines until Dec. 7, she raced evenly after being virtually eliminated at the break. Drops down, has worked fast since, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.

4th pick: #8 (Janie Babe) (10-1) - She has some early speed but has tired badly in her last pair here after running second at this tag on Nov. 6. Can factor, but needs to do much better down the stretch.

5th pick: #10 (Jim's Success) (9-2) - Stalker tired last out after being sent hard at the break. She was much more competitive in her previous pair and draws outside of the speed types.
