Top pick: #2 (QUEEN OF THE NILE) - Much improved of late, and it's come off a 4 1/2 month layoff and a trainer change to Jane Cibelli. Filly has finished second in her last pair, both at this price going 7 furlongs. Stretches-out in this spot and stalker should get a solid pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #3 (Set Free To Fly) - Mare ran second at this tag and trip Feb. 15 in her second start back off a 7 week freshening. 5-year-old can be placed just about anywhere by rider Rosemary Homeister Jr. and is a threat to the top pick.
3rd pick: #4 (Mecca's Gold) - She's been competitive in all four starts here this winter and in her only other race at this $8K tag, she finished second on New Year's Eve. Dangerous, and at a nice price.
