Top pick: #2 (VINDA) (5-2) - Veteran mare drops down and is stringing starts together following several layoffs. She raced both evenly wide in her latest facing tougher and has worked well since.
2nd pick: #1 (Quiet Sunshine) (3-1) - She's finished 2nd in two straight and faces a bit tougher today despite dropping in class. Eligible for the 3l condition, she has the rail, a stalking style, and is in the barn of leading trainer Dave Jacobson. Win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Guyana Princess) (7-2) - Trainer Michelle Nevin (former asst. to Rick Dutrow) has been on a hot streak lately and she drops this mare down in class and shortens her up in distance. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #3 (Thetrainwasgone) (12-1) - She has good early speed and is working fast for her first since Jan 4th. Curiously, in this race full of veterans, he's the only one entered who has won on this main-track in the past. Longshot possibilities.
