Top pick: #4 (MIDNIGHT LADY) (5-2) - She was a winner here at this level and distance on Feb. 15. Her connections moved her up in class and switched her to the grass March 1st. Five-year-old ran both wide and evenly while finishing 5th of 8, beaten just over 5-lengths. She drops back down and can take another with the switch back to dirt.

2nd pick: #7 (Acute) (3-1) - She was no match for "Midnight Lady" on Feb. 15, but finished a pace-setting second in a follow up start. Almost all of her productive races have been local 16-4-2-2 and trainer Kristin Mulhall brings her back in 12 days for this attempt.

3rd pick: #1 (Chocolate Delight) (4-1) - Mare has raced evenly in all three starts since coming off a 22-month layoff Jan. 17. She has the rail, is racing back into shape, and may be ready for a big effort.

4th pick: #3 (Silk in Silver) (7-2) - Speedy mare regressed a bi last out after 6-straight solid efforts. 5yo runs off another claim and meets a field where her early speed is dangerous.
