Top pick: #5 (BACKLIT SKY) - One of two mares entered by trainer Ramon Preciado and the pair will race uncoupled. Very consistent daughter of "Sky Mesa" went (15-4-3-4) last year with all of her wins comong on this surface. Drops down out of tougher starter-allowances and she has a flexible style.
2nd pick: #7 (Seaside Fortune) - The second of the Preciado pair has a nice outside post for her stalking style and last out at Penn National she was beaten a neck racing at this price.
3rd pick: #1 (Dubai's Connection) - New York shipper ships down from Aqueduct in good form and last out there she won at this distance racing at the bottom price ($7500) in New York. Has the rail and is a threat in the stretch after saving ground early.
