Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (PRIZE EXHIBIT) (7-2) - English bred import won her North American debut here in late January in a good looking performance. Freshened up until April 4, she rallied from far back to check in fourth in the local G3 'Provedencia' stakes at this distance. She had some serious traffic issues that day and can take this with a trouble free trip.

2nd pick: #8 (Entrechat) (5-2) - Lightly raced, talented, and she's still getting better. Beaten just under a length in the same last race as 'Prize Exhibit,' it was her first in 7-weeks and first facing winners. $280K daughter of 'Giant's Causeway' is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Screaming Skylar) (12-1) - Another that's lightly raced, she broke her maiden here at this demanding distance April 4. Speed/stalker is beautifully bred, and $505K daughter of 'Smart Strike' has the rail. Filly should be involved every step at a big price.

4th pick: #4 (Lutine Belle) (15-1) - Stretch runner got shuffled back early in the April 4 'Provedencia' stakes and made up some late ground while racing wide. May grab a share at long odds.

5th pick: #9 (Spirit of Xian) (7-2) - She was the surprise winner of the April 4 'Provedencia" stakes when she set soft fractions while going wire-to-wire. Working fast since, and this Irish bred doesn't need the early lead to be competitive.
