Top pick: #4 (BLUNDERSTONE) (8-5) - Trainer Eoin Harty has won with three of four of these Darley Stable shippers coming from So. California. Home-bred by "Birdstone" has faced much tougher in her first pair and should be able to beat this crew.
2nd pick: #5 (George's Peach) (4-1) - She set a pressured pace and held to finish second here at this level and distance on Dec. 2. Filly defeated a pair of today's rivals that afternoon and is clearly improving.
3rd pick: #1 (Mystery Tour) (9-2) - Another who is lightly raced and improving, she rallied to finish third last out and was two lengths back of "Peach" that day. Has the rail, gets blinkers on, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Sweet G) (5-1) - Grey daughter of "Awesome Gambler" comes off a career best when she chased and levelled off to finish behind both "Peach" and "Tour." That was her first ever on the turf and by far her best yet.
