Top pick: #4 (MY HONEY LAURIE) - Improved of late and this filly clearly likes this inner surface. She has good early speed and also a rating gear. Trainer Bruce Brown brings her back in 9 days for this following a "neck" loss at this level and distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Awesome Bull) - She has the best early speed of this group and last out finished a pace-setting 2nd at this trip and condition. Effort was only her 2nd back off a 7 1/2 month layoff and she's an obvious contender in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Moshe Diane) - Lightly raced filly draws the rail and will be trying a two-turn distance for the first time. She has a good closing kick and is a threat to win it all.
