Top pick: #2 (THOSE LION EYES) - Speedy filly has only one sub par effort in six lifetime starts and was a sharp wire-to-wire on this surface Jan. 14 in an upper-end starter-allowance and last out finished second in a race at this level and trip on Feb 16. Daughter of "Lion Heart" has a near bullet half-mile breeze nine days ago and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Freuds On Holidays) - Stalker raced between runners last out and weakened during the stretch run to finish third, 3 lengths behind Those Lion Eyes. Consistent (8-3-2-0), in the barn of Rick Dutrow, and she's working fast for this attempt.
