Top pick: #7 (OLIVIA TWIST) - Lightly-raced, home-bred daughter of "Borrego" broke her maiden here at this trip on the main-track in a switched contest on Jan. 18. Trainer Leigh Delacour gave her a two-month break at that time and she raced evenly in a strong small field in a grass race for $32K on March 14th in her first facing winners. Barn drops her back down and switches her back to the dirt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Hatta) - She's run well in six of her seven starts and will be dropping down in price and going turf to dirt for trainer Joan Scott. Speed/stalker fits and is in the three horse win mix.
3rd pick: #2 (Stance) - Daughter of "Songandaprayer" broke her maiden here in front-running style on March 17th and is brought back quickly and is well-spotted in her first facing fellow winners.
