Top pick: #8 (DESERT FLIGHT) - Much-improved runner broke her maiden last out at Gulfstream going five furlongs in a very impressive win. Race was her second off a layoff and she's nicely spotted by her trainer (Kelly Breen) to make it two in a row.
2nd pick: #1 (Sassy Sami) - Speedy filly was claimed by Scott Lake at Gulfstream last out and is brought north for her first start outside of Florida. Has the rail advantage and Lake wins at a 27% rate with his fresh claims.
3rd pick: #7 (Defensa) - Finished second last out, her best performance yet and it came with lasix administered for the first time. Improving and is a contender.
