Top pick: #1 (SHE CAN ROAR) (7-2) - She's part of a Angel Silva trained entry and at scratch time both halves were still running. Mare has finished third in two straight here since coming from California and she's caught tougher fields in that pair. 6-year-old can get her maiden win in this spot.
2nd pick: #8 (Geri's Car) (6-1) - Mare rallied to finish second here two back in a strong effort, but followed that up with a very poor race on Jan. 1. She can factor if that last race was just "one of those days."
3rd pick: #9 (Saponetta) (12-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, she's taken money in both starts and moves from the rail to the outside today, and at this 6.5 furlong trip it's a plus. Win candidate.
5th pick: #7 (Bella Journey) (10-1) - Another who's lightly raced and she rallied to finish fourth in her local debut on Jan. 1. Needs to step it up just a bit more.
