Top pick: #7 (DEMOCRACY RULES) (6-1) - Longshot tired badly when debuting here facing tougher on Feb. 6. Well backed that day, she's working fast and taking a big drop for a good second out barn (Mike Machowsky 21%). Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Happy's Golden Gal) (4-1) - Well bet in her debut, filly rallied to finish fourth here at this tag going 5.5-furlongs. She's worked three times since and is stretching out in distance.
3rd pick: #8 (Blind Dreams) (6-1) - Away since last April, she rallied from far back to finish second that day debuting her for a $30K tag going 5.5-furlongs. Can factor if ready.
4th pick: #9 (Take It Slowly) (20-1) - Another longshot, she's racing second back off a long layoff. Never involved in her return, trainer John Sadler wins at a 23% rate second off of lengthy absences.
5th pick: #1 (L X Sunrise) (6-1) - She's grabbed minor awards many times and has finished second here in seven of nine starts. May impact again today, but needs to do better late.
