Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (BLAZEN ALL STAR) (3-1) - She enters off a career best when she rallied to finish second at odds of 47-1 racing here at this tag and trip on Feb. 23. It was her first around two-turns and trainer Mike Puype has worked her twice since.

2nd pick: #3 (Victoria's On Fire) (6-1) - Daughter of "Langfuhr" runs third back off a almost a seven month layoff and she ran evenly here at this level in a March 8th sprint. Price play is stretching-out for the first time and is a factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #7 (Alissa G) (4-1) - She tired badly last out facing tougher in a "down the hill" contest on Feb. 24, but she was much sharper in her previous pair on this surface. Speedy filly drops and is a win threat.

4th pick: #6 (Pay the Cutie) (15-1) - She can "run all day" and last out rallied from far back to finish fourth here, 2 1/2 back of "Blazen" on Feb. 23. That was a career best and she would benefit greatly from a fast/and or contested pace.

5th pick: #8 (Medusalina) (4-1) - Don't think she can win this, but she's picked up five small shares in seven career starts and may do so again this afternoon.
