Debut filly showed some ability in maiden-claiming sprint. Void of speed, green, finished okay. Progeny of first-crop sire Mastery modest so far, but filly can improve on the drop.

Our gimmick Pick, Iron Works, came through for us last week as a hot favorite while our choice, Carronade, had some issues but managed to complete a superfecta; another BreezeFigs starter, Master of Arms, completed the trifecta.

Weekend GamePlan for Jan. 15, 2022: Picks for Fifth Season, California Cup Oaks, Gasparilla
