Top pick: #3 (BENECIA) - Drops, goes turf to "poly," has the best early speed of this field and comes off a solid effort when she chased and weakened facing better. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Takethemoneyandrun) - One-run type has been competitive in her last pair at this tag and one-run type draws a nice outside post at this 7-furlong trip. Stretch threat for the top prize.
3rd pick: #7 (Portfolio) - Drops, runs third back off a layoff, and she's been competitive in her first pair facing winners against tougher foes. She likes this trip (3-1-2-0) and can impact at a big price.
