Top pick: #5 (HONOR HYMN) - The field's most experienced runner is in the barn of "Eclipse Award" winning trainer Steve Asmussen. She takes that all important drop from maiden special weights into a claimer for the first time and will be tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Navajo Slippers) - She raced evenly and a bit wide when debuting here Jan. 23. She's been given a bit over a month by veteran trainer Bill Fires and she draws the rail. Filly will run better this afternoon.
3rd pick: #2 (Ashlee's Empire) - Filly by "Empire Maker" showed good early speed when debuting here on Feb. 13 racing for $65K. Barn (Allen Milligan) brings her back quickly and drops her in price. Contender.
