Top pick: #5 (RUSSIAN ROSIE) - Veteran mare has more lifetime wins(7) than any other in this small field (5) and she 2 for 6 on this surface. She kept busy over the winter months with a pair of starts on the Gulfstream turf ( winning 1) and is working well for this attempt. Wins this with a stretch rally.
2nd pick: #4 (Oil Painting) - The main speed has a fine record on this surface (11-2-3-2). She chased and tired in a sprint April 10 in her first since late Nov and her connections will stretch her out in distance tonight. She could win this if left alone early.
