(# 5) LOVE COVE - Has transformed into a new horse since adding blinkers. Was a strong second, tackling winners for the first time on Feb. 11. Stalked the early pace from the outset, and was forced to rally between runners in the stretch, a tough task for a young horse. She appears to be a prime candidate for a stretch-out.

(# 1) FLIGHTOFTHEPELICAN - Steps-up in sharp form for Schosberg, who is enjoying a fine meeting. Fine wire-to-wire job on Feb. 15, in fast time. Has been wisely freshened since. Strong breeze on March 4 is indicative of current sharpness.

( 1A) TALKING TREASURE - Entrymate of our second pick, broke maiden in game fashion battling every step of the way. She is a regression candidate, adding blinkers and losing Bridgmohan, both of which can be bad or good.
