Parx Racing Pick of the Week for January 29

Tuesday's fourth race at Parx, a $40,000 maiden claiming event for three-year-old fillies, includes one who faced a champion and lived to tell. #3 AWESOME ALAINA (4-1) debuted at Parx last July in a maiden special weight going five furlongs. The daughter of Algorithms' was not overly distinguished as she was beaten 14 lengths into fourth, but the company line of race was. The winner was Jaywalk, recently crowned the champion juvenile filly of 2018. Awesome Alaina did not reappear for more than five months, this time in a $40,000 maiden claimer on January 12 going six furlongs. Showing more early foot, she tracked in second before weakening a bit in the final furlong. She was fourth again, but this time by only four lengths. With the get-fit trip behind her, Awesome Alaina can do more damage second off the layoff while traveling a bit shorter on Tuesday going 5 1/2 furlongs.
