Top pick: #4 (ARMEDANDBEAUTIFUL) (2-1) - Mare raced evenly following a poor start here at this level on Feb. 11. It was her first start since late April and Canadian-bred can take this with normal second back improvement.
2nd pick: #7 (Just Like Juliet) (6-1) - Like "Armedandbeautiful" she was off slowly in her latest and tired badly after rusing up. She has back class, a good closing kick, and would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.
3rd pick: #6 (Garage Kept) (6-1) - Speedy filly pressed while wide and weakened after breaking from an outside post last out. Can be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (My Wild Irish Rose) (15-1) - Longshot has the rail and some early speed in a contest that doesn't have a lot of pace on view. Can be involved early, but needs to do much better in the last three furlongs.
