Top pick: #7 (SOPHIE'S SMILE) - Daughter of the successful "Cuvee" has been bet in both starts facing special weights and has raced evenly without threatening. In a very good barn (Chris Melton) and he drops her way down this evening. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Wild Pacific Waves) - Mare has finished 2nd in three of her last four starts and they've all come on this surface at this tag. She's handled an off track before and owner/trainer brings her back in 3 weeks for this attempt.
3rd pick: #5 (Fly Robin Fly) - Last fall filly put together a series of 4 straight solid efforts, but her form has deteriorated since then. Last ouy filly tired facing tougher at Indiana Downs in her first race in 4 months. She's brought back on short notice (10 days)and runs in a career soft spot. Very dangerous.
