Top pick: #3 (AWESOME MARIA) - Grey filly is one of a pair entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and they'll race uncoupled. Home-bred by "Maria's Mon" has always been highly thought of and come up from Gulfstream off a pair of impressive staks wins. She has a flexible style, has won on this surface before, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Absinthe Minded) - Speedster has been very busy this year (5-2-0-2) and has been racing against some very talented fillies lately. She's the main-speed of this small field and should be involved from start to finish.
