Top pick: #6 (MOMENT IN DIXIE) - Home-bred by the late "Dixieland Band" started her career with a pair of back-to-back wins and has finished second in two of her three starts since thaen (all stakes). Trainer Jimmy Toner will be cutting her back in distance and has her working fast for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Ode to Sami) - "Sami" is as consistent as they come (15-4-5-1) and is one of two fillies entered who has won on this surface in the past. She's finished second in her last pair at Belmont and stalker draws the rail. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #4 (Double the Energy) - Speedy grey filly comes off a career best when she went wire-to-wire on the Belmont turf on Oct. 17 in her first back off a two month freshening. She's the main speed and front runners are always dangerous on this surface.
