Top pick: #4 (COTTON BLEND) (4-1) - Florida shipper races first off a Jane Cibelli claim (a 21% winning angle). Filly raced evenly last out at Gulfstream for $25K, but had finished second in her previous pair at Tampa Bay. Lasix is added and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Miss Etta) (6-1) - She showed nothing in her debut, but it came in the slop here on March 12th. Claimed that day for $25K by Mike Pino, and that's a 28% winning angle. He has her working fast since, adds blinkers, and Pa.-bred draws the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Virginia Rose) (5-1) - She showed nothing last out, but daughter of "City Zip" had been competitive in her first three starts. 3-year-old did "bobble" at the break that day and has worked well since.
4th pick: #2 (Andean Moon) (3-1) - Home-bred by "Malibu Moon" has raced evenly in her first four starts and trainer Richard Small will add blinkers and drop her into a claimer for the first time.
