Top pick: #5 (LAURA BEASLEY) (5-2) - She's nearing her best after coming back from a 13 month layoff in early Dec. and last out just missed at this level on Jan. 23. Strong finisher has back class and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Your Special Day) (3-1) - Filly raced evenly last out at Santa Anita for a $25K tag and will be making her first local appearance. Stakes placed earlier in her career and a major threat this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (On Time Again) (4-1) - Speedy sort exits the same Jan. 23 contest as "Laura" and finished a pace-setting third, only a bit more than a length off of that rival. Threat on the front end
4th pick: #2 (Icedmochanowhip) (20-1) - Speedy mare will be trying both the grass and a two-turn distance for the first time. A pace factor at a big price.
