Top pick: #9 (DEL MAR DIXIE) (2-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, filly is trying a two-turn distance for the first time. $150K daughter of 'Dixie Union' rallied to finish second here at this tag going 7-furlongs April 5th. Trainer Jeff Mullins has worked her three times since and he wins at a 20% rate on the stretch out angle.

2nd pick: #5 (Dixie Dame) (6-5) - The probable favorite, filly is listed at 6-5 on the morning line. She's finished second in three of her last five starts and missed by a 'neck' here at this tag and distance April 16th. It was her first ever around two-turns and filly is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Red Carrera) (8-1) - She has some early speed but has been beaten by 'Dixie Dame' the last two times they've met without any apparent excuse. In shape and capable of grabbing a share.

4th pick: #1 (Class Devine) (12-1) - Filly has taken some betting action in both starts facing tougher, She's given her rider a hard time in both and believe that she'll be sent hard from her inside draw in an attempt to steal this. Price play.

5th pick: #8 (Franniesspirittoo) (15-1) - Not a win candidate, but veteran maiden was only 4 1/2 back of 'Del Mar Dixie' last out. Mare can get a minor award at a big price with a late rally.
