Top pick: #1 (BELLE GALLANTRY) - Improving filly broke her maiden on the dirt here going 7 furlongs Feb. 9, then rallied to finish third racing for $32K going "down the hill" on March 8th in her first facing winners. The second leading trainer here (Doug O'Neill) drops her down in price, switches her back to the main track, and lenghtens her out 1.5 furlongs. 3-year-old has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Warren's Hopeful) - Mare races firt off a Bill Spawr claim and he brings her back at the same price and distance. She ran third last out in a race dominated by the top two finishers and thia field is a bit easier.
3rd pick: #3 (Siempre Esperanza) - 4-year-old has been competitive in four straight tries at this level sprinting and will be stretching-out around two-turns this afternoon. She has enough positional speed to stay close through-out and should be involved down the lane.
