Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (MORGAN'S RUN) - Makes her first start since early February at Gulfstream Park. Daughter of "Smart Strike" had a poor post that day but ran well despite racing very wide the whole race. She's working fast for a top layoff barn (Todd Pletcher 19%) and is a big win contender.

2nd pick: #5 (It's Not For Love) - Has the most speed and experience, and faces a field lite on racing savy. Daughter of "Not For Love" has finished a pace-setting second in her last three turf attempts. The main danger.

3rd pick: #2 (Keelys Black Magic) - Raced well despite an eventful trip in her only appearance, last January at Gulfstream. Working fine for a top trainer (Tom Proctor) she draws the hedge and has blinkers removed for the return run.

4th pick: #6 (Sealed Bid) - Filly's lone turf race was her best of four starts. Bred for the grass and in a good turf barn ( "Rusty" Arnold) she's been freshened up since mid-June. Dangerous foe.
