Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (BLIND LUCK) - Talented and bargain-priced ($11,000) daughter of "Pollard's Vision" proved again last out when winning the "Fantasy" (G2) at Oaklawn that she's just as comfortable on conventional dirt as "poly." Strong finisher gets a nice pace se-up with lots of speed types signed-on and she'll be very tough to beat in this spot, but it's a large field and that means some traffic issues, so reverse those exacts just in case.

2nd pick: #8 (Tidal Pool) - Solid filly was run down late by "Luck" in the Fantasy in Arkansas after setting a reasonable pace. She broke her maiden here last spring so you know she'll handle the surface and her last two works are impressive. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (It's Tea Time) - Very lightly raced daughter of "Dynaformer" has a srtrong finishing kick as she makes her first start on conventional dirt today. Working well and according to trainer George Arnold "she's doing great." Stretch threat.

4th pick: #13 (Amen Hallelujah) - Speed/stalker won the "Davona Dale" at Gulfstream in impressive fashion Feb. 27, then finished second in the "Bonnie Miss" at the same track to the Pletcher trained "Devil May Care" who is running tomorow in the "Derby." Can factor today.
