Handicapper: Brian W. Spencer

#5 Jemez Falls
She drops back down for this one after racing for more than twice the price in those last three starts, and she was a good second from off the pace when facing similar last year. Tactical type can land this.

#6 Short Straw
She showed good pace before fading in the final furlong in the debut run, but she probably has at least a little upside here with that race under her belt. Think she's the most committed pace player. Wouldn't surprise.

#1 Lunarchy
This barn does good work in pretty much every category, but I wouldn't be too excited to sign on here at any kind of short price while dropping again off a flat first try with maiden claimers.

Brian’s Notes: Jemez Falls has better positional pace than she showed at this level on New Year's Eve, but she proved a good class fit that day and seems likely enough to land this one with a better trip while getting back to that level.
