(# 3) Minebrook - Will be in front as far as she goes, and that should be a long way if recent efforts are any indication. She has the speed to lead while setting a controlled pace, and has performed well since she transferred to the inner track. She runs well, fresh for a good layoff barn, and two of her three career wins have come at todays quirky distance.

(# 1) Birdie Run - First time Hushion. Well spotted from Canada. She needs only to handle this surface to make her presence felt. Steady works since mid-December. Pace to run at with Hill aboard.

(# 4) Elkhorn - Leveled off suddenly, but too late on Jan. 31. Still remains eligible to face limited winners, but nevertheless fits well here. Loses Garcia to the top pick.

(# 6) Mutakaway - Suspicious drop off a $35,000 claim. Might just be a late running sprinter. No wins on the inner. Reuniting with Dominguez.

The Plays: $10 to win and place on #3.
$4 exacta boxes on 3-1, 3-4, 3-6.
Total Wager = $44.00.
