Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (TAYLOR LANE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she enters off a career best effort here on Jan. 29. Racing at this level and distance off almost a 100-day layoff, she rallied from close range to miss by a 1/2 length. She worked well twice since and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Scatfish) (6-1) - Price play ran wide and evenly while finishing 9-lengths back of "Taylor Lane" last out. Bred for the grass, it was her first back off an 8 1/2 month layoff and she's working fast for this. Four-year-old is making back-to-back starts for the first time and has Bejarano is back on the re-ride.

3rd pick: #2 (Kristinite) (4-1) - Grey filly rallied to finish third in the same last race as "Taylor." She was 3 1/2 back of that rival and is racing third back off a 5 1/2 month layoff. Stretch threat.

4th pick: #4 (Keezheekoni) (8-1) - She's the main speed and tired late after setting a quick pace in the same last race as "Taylor." With little other pace signed on, she's dangerous at a big price.
