Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (GYPSY FRIDAY) - Price play has been competitive in both starst at this "tricky" distance and has more early speed than most entered. She just ran on Saturday and was only beaten 3 1/2 lengths in a field that was much tougher than this. Can take this on the quick turnaround.

2nd pick: #8 (Unbridled Ambition) - The probable heavy favorite, she finished a rallying second when debuting here at this level and distance March 2nd. Bet down to favoritism that day, 3-year-old by "Broken Vow" broke slowly, but settled and close into a very fast pace. Obvious win candidate and she'd be no surprise (though at a very short price).

3rd pick: #4 (My Yammy Heat) - One of two fillies by "Unusual Heat" entered here by trainer Barry Abrams and the pair will race uncoupled. 3-year-old has had troubled starts in both appearances, but has shown enough in each to make her a threat as she runs off a two month freshening.
