Top pick: #3 (AMARGOSA) - Probable favorite set a fast pace at this price Mar. 6 and tired in the last furlong to finish second of five. Good mid-level barn adds lasix to this home-bred and that should put her over the top.
2nd pick: #7 (Quail Trail) - No-speed type rallied to finish third in her latest but was 5 lengths behind Amargosa at the finish. The pace here should be fast and that would help this "stone" closers style out.
3rd pick: #5 (Swaxie) - She chased the pace of Amargosa last out and tired badly to finish last of 5, beaten 16 1/2 lengths. Effort was her first in almost a year and she could certainly improve enough to be a threat this afternoon at a big price.
