Top pick: #4 (ZIPPOLINA) - Returns today off almost a five month layoff and this filly's best race ever came here at this time and distance last year off a similar absence. She has a bullet work from the gate five days ago and her trainer (Chris Englehart) wins at a 25% clip off of long layoffs.
2nd pick: #6 (Aprilmayjune) - Mare missed by a 1/2 length at this condition and trip nine days ago. Effort was her first local start and first for trainer Mike Lecesse after he claimed her at Gulfstream on March 2nd. Obvious threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Do the Tiger) - She's in shape, has speed and the rail, and last out was only a length back of "Aprilmayjune". Has a great overall record (50-12-9-7) and most of it came facing "open" company.
