Top pick: #8 (SHEANA MALAENA) (4-1) - Filly chased and weakened here at this level on Jan 8th in her first back from almost a 7 week freshening. She has some back class, is from a high percentage barn(Mike Chambers), and draws a great post for this 6.5 furlong trip.
2nd pick: #4 (Spirits West) (3-1) - Very lightly raced daughter of "Giacomo" rallied to finish 2nd on Jan 8th in a contest common to several others. Canadian-bred was stakes placed last year at Northlands Park and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Slyly) (7-2) - Mare has raced evenly in her last pair and last out finished 3rd in the same Jan 8th contest as "Spirits" and was almost three back of that rival. 6yo draws the rail and can factor with her best.
5th pick: #7 (Family Soul) (10-1) - Mare ran evenly in her latest and was only beaten 4 lengths racing at this level on Dec 22nd. Capable with a bit more improvement of impacting at a nice price.
