Top pick: #6 (STAR RECRUIT) (3-1) - Very consistent mare is working very fast for her first start since Aug. 2 at Penn National when she tired facing tougher. 6-year-old loves this surface (15-5-3-2), and trainer Scott Lake has her spotted to win off the six month layoff.
2nd pick: #3 (Wardelle) (7-2) - Mare just missed here at this level on Feb. 12 in her first race since being claimed by Patty Farro on Dec. 1. She has a speed/stalking style, back class, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Muffin Top) (5-1) - Speed/stalker fits at the level and distance and moves off the rail after being sent hard last out. The speed is to her left in the gate and she can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Dede's Mouse) (6-1) - Runs first off a claim and the new barn (Jen Saldana Wilhelm) moves her up in price. One-run type should get a fast pace to close into and can grab a share with a late move.
