Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (SALTAMONTES) - Daughter of "Wheelaway" makes her first start since early Dec. when she chased a wire to wire in a two-turn stakes on the inner-surface at Aqueduct. She's the only filly entered with a win on this surface and that came in a stakes race last Sep. Working fine and her trainer (Rudy Rodriguez) wins at a 26% rate off of long layoffs and at 34% when riding Dominguez. Very tough to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Freuds On Holidays) - In-form filly looked sharp in winning an allowance at Aqueduct March 26 and she's in the always dangerous barn of Rick Dutrow. The main opposition.

3rd pick: #7 (Kocher Girl) - Lightly-raced Finger Lakes invader won her seasonal debut there 13 days ago and trainer Mike Lecesse brings her back quickly for this. Along with the filly, rider Pedro Rodriguez comes with her.
