Top pick: #6 (WILD IN MONTANA) - Lightly raced and talented filly hasn't run since early May of 2009 when she won a starter-allowance on this surface to make her record two-for-two. Training fast in New York for her return, trainer Bruce Levine sends her down I95 for this and has leading rider Carmouche aboard. Won't be easy off the long layoff, but if she's a 100% for this she can stay undefeated.
2nd pick: #7 (Fortescue) - Lightly raced home-bred mare has won both starts here since coming back from a 10 1/2 month layoff Nov. 23. Freshened up for the past 6 weeks she continues to work swiftly and draws a nice post for this trip. Can see her winning this if the top pick isn't up to par.
3rd pick: #5 (Bang Away) - Improving daughter of "Sky Mesa" moves back in with open company after winning a PA-bred allowance at Penn National Dec. 21. One-run type should get a fast pace to rally into and she can be a part of this with a late rally.
