Top pick: #3 (RHONDDA GARDENS) - Home-bred will drop into a claimer and cut back in distance for her first start since late November at Churchill Downs. Daughter of "Flower Alley" showed good speed in her debut and then had a troubled trip last out. She meets a weak field for this price and can win this with an alert break.
2nd pick: #5 (Third Row Center) - Grey filly finished second here in late November on the main track when she was dropped into a claimer and trainer Rick Violette added blinkers. Daughter of "Rockport Harbor" is working fast for this and looks like a big player.
