Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (MIZDIRECTION) (4-5) - Grade 1 winner is a perfect 5-for-5 on this course and four of those have come at this famoius 6.5 furlong distance going "down the hill." She has a flexible style, draws outside of the other speed, and is working fast as she tries for her 8th win in the last nine starts.

2nd pick: #1 (Purim's Dancer) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and improving, when last in action she won a $60K stakes here at this trip on Feb. 10. Bargain priced ($12K) purchase is 4-for-4 on the grass and three of those have come here at this distance. Dangerous rival.

3rd pick: #2 (Schiaparelli) (5-1) - Another lightly-raced filly, she comes off a career best when defeating weaker here at this distance on March 14th. The final time and the "fig" earned make her a serious threat if repeatable.
