Top pick: #5 (MIZ DIRECTION) - She's gone (7-5-2-0) on the grass since finishing second here in a dirt sprint 13 months ago. Grey daughter of "Mizzen Mast" has won stakes on the infield, the latest coming at this 6.5 furlong going "down the hill" in a $75k race on Feb. 25. Working very fast, she has a flexible running style, and will be very tough in this G3 contest.
2nd pick: #1 (Unzip Me) - Obvious threat and this veteran mare has won 7 times here at this trip and is nearing the $1M mark in earnings. She was almost 2 back of "Miz" on Jan. 2, but came back to win a stakes on the Jan. 29. Training fine and stalker is the likely winner if the top pick fails.
