Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (MISTICAL PLAN) - Latest win at Calder in the Grade 1 "Princess Rooney" was simply awesome. Filly stalked a very fast pace on the deep Florida track and drew away impressively to win by almost six lengths in 1:10.60. Training well since, a repeat of her last could win this.

2nd pick: #2 (Sugar Swirl) - Accomplished stablemate of the better known "Ginger Punch", filly has really come into her own this season. She's won five of her last six dating back to last fall and all have been in sprints. Training well locally for Bob Frankel, she's four-for-six at this tough distance.

3rd pick: #7 (Miraculous Miss) - Goes third off the bench for trainer Steve Klesaris and closer may get a fast/contested pace in front of her to help her tactics out. She's run exclusively in sprint stakes dating back to her win in the G2 "Comely" 2 1/2 years ago. Training well and is a late threat.
