Top Pick: #2 Movin’ On Up (5-1) - Jose Ortiz is atop this horse, a winner of two straight. The last time out was most impressive, winning the 2025 Sand Springs Stakes at 1 1/6-miles in a track record time of 1:38.01 at Gulfstream Park. The previous race was at one mile. That's five wins in its last eight races.

2nd Pick: #6 Sacred Wish (3-1) - In her last six races, Sacred Wish has finished second three times, third once, and first once. The previous time at one mile, Sacred Wish won the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes at 12-to-1, rallying down the stretch to top favored Gina Romantica. John Velazquez was atop for that win and will be riding again.

3rd Pick: #1 Venencia (16-1) - This Chad Brown horse draws the post position after finishing third in the last two races. She was third the last time out at the Grade 2 Hillsborough. In its two other races at one mile, Venencia finished second and third.
