Top pick: #2 (SWEET SEVENTEEN) - Lightly-raced and improving daughter from the first crop of "Hard Spun", she set the pace and was beaten a neck here on Jan. 7 in the Busanda Stakes. Solid effort was her first in almost two months and first ever going around two-turns. Trainer Graham Motion has put a trio of works into her at the Fair Hill Center in Maryland and she draws the best post. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lisa T) - She's part of an entry due to common ownership and this filly will be stretching back out after running third here in a small stake going 6 furlongs. Pletcher trained filly broke her maiden on this surface going a mile in her previous start, so the extra distance isn't an issue.
