Top pick: #1 (FLY SOLO) - Filly has shown excellent early speed in all three starts facing special weights and undergoes some changes today that can lead to a win. Trainer Adam Kitchingham runs her second back off a 110-day layoff, drops her into a claimer for the first time, and shortens her up to 5 furlongs for this attempt. $120K daughter of "Scat Daddy" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #14 (Zenett) - She finished a close up fourth at this tag going 5.5 furlongs on March 1st in her first start since July 4th. Trainer Vann Belvoir brings her back quickly and this filly is a win candidate if she scratches in from the also-eligible list.
3rd pick: #8 (Samurai Jess) - Debuting filly from trainer Doug O'Neill has a bullet 5-furlong work from the gate here on March 12th. Barn is having a strong meet and wins at a 17% rate first time out.
4th pick: #6 (Warren's Hope) - Home-bred from the vast operation of Ben Warren has a nice series of drills showing, all local, dating back to the fall. She has a half-dozen published breezes since Feb. 6 and should be fit enough if she has talent.
