Top pick: #1 (ILLICIT AFFAIR) (4-1) - Flly is one of two entered by the Baffert barn and will be the much higher price of the pair. Pegram home-bred by "Midnight Lute" stretches out in distance after chasing a fast pace and weakening to finish 4th when debuting here at this level in a 5.5 furlong sprint March 16. Barn is strong 2nd time out (27%) and with this sprint to route move is 28%. has the rail and I like her chances.
2nd pick: #3 (Ondine) (4-5) - The probable heavy favorite is the 2nd of the Baffert fillies and has finished 2nd in all three appearances. She finished 2nd last out after breaking slowly in a sprint March 29th and is an obvious win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #5 (Iconic Spirit) (5-2) - She finished 2nd in her last pair, including here latest here at this condition and distance March 14th. Well-bred and improving, but she needs to do a bit better.
4th pick: #4 (Hollywood Icon) (20-1) - Longshot is yet another stretching out and she showed fine early speed in her debut. Can grab a small share at a very big price.
