Top pick: #1 (ZERMATT) - Filly has run well in most all of her starts and has a flexible running style. In the Pletcher barn, she draws the rail and fits this allowance-optional claimer just fine. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (In Perpetuity) - Ligtly raced and talented she's won her before and race today off a 7 week break. Working fast at Palm Meadows and she's a win candidate on the front-end.
3rd pick: #6 (Sweet N Sour Nina) - Hard-hitter races first off a Pete Walder claim (33%) and she's a specialist at this distance (5-3-2-0). Add the fact that she's 3-for-4 locally and you have a serious looking runner.
