Top pick: #5 (TALENT N PASSION) (6-5) - Very fast from the gate, filly was an impressive winner on the inner surface at this trip on March 1st. Race was her first outside of Florida and first for trainer Rudy Rodriguez. Working well locally for her first in seven weeks and much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Lenderoflastresort) (5-2) - Daughter of "Yes It's True" is clearly improving and last out held to finish second here at this level and distance after being involved in a spirited pace-duel. Dangerous rival, she doesn't need the lead to be competitive.
3rd pick: #3 (Heiressofthecrown) (4-1) - Gulfstream invader races for the first time since Feb. 23 and that was the day trainer Carlos Martin claimed her for $50K. One-run type is working well above average at Belmont and Florida-bred runs with blinkers added.
