Top pick: #6 (TOUGHTOCONVINCE) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly ships in from Golden Gate Fields and runs off a trainer change to Angel Silva (13% with new arrivals). She worked here four days ago, drops to a new low, and Cal.-bred has gone 2-0-1-1 on real dirt in the past.

2nd pick: #1 (Thisbe) (5-1) - Speedy sort ran evenly at this level and distance last out on Dec. 18, but had finished second in her previous effort. Capable, and she should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #5 (Twentycaratsormore) (9-2) - Filly shortens up in distance after she pressed the pace and weakend going a mile at this level on Dec. 20. Nicely-bred, daughter of "Northern Afleet" has races in her past that make her a win threat if repeatable.

4th pick: #4 (Princessofthering) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced filly enters off a career best when she finished a close up third here on Dec. 18. Grey 4-year-old won her debut last August at Hastings Park and can impact with her best.
