Top pick: #1 (BROADWAY ALIBI) - After rallying to finish second when debuting at Delaware Park last August, this home-bred daughter of "Vindication" is 3-for-3 since then and comes here off a 17-length win in the Forward Gal Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream on Jan. 29. Training fast, she draws the rail and last out earned the only triple-digit speed figure (100) anyone in this field has run.
2nd pick: #3 (Millionreasonswhy) - She showed a world of talent last year at two, winning the (G2) Matron in only her second start, then losing by a neck to 2-year-old filly champ "My Miss Aurelia" in the Adirondack (G2) at Saratoga. Daughter of "Grand Slam" was an easy and visually impressive winner of a 7-furlong stakes at Laurel in her seasonal debut on March 3rd. Working bullets since and I almost made her the top choice.
3rd pick: #5 (Welcome Guest) - Gulfstream invader finished second when debuting in a strong field there on Feb. 8, then was a very "handy" maiden winner a month later at the same track. Working fast for this, $250K daughter of "Unbridled's Song" will be facing winners for the first time. Dominguez's presence is duly noted.
