Top pick: #5 (SCOTT'S CHOICE) - Speedster should encounter little opposition in her attempt to steal away early. Latest, a strong third-place finish, was her best so far. Give her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Dean Henry) - Daughter of "Empire Maker" finished second on Feb. 4, her first race in two months. She defeated the top pick by 1 1/2 lengths that day. I almost put her on top.
3rd pick: #3 (Tom and Dicks Girl) - Starts are mounting, and she's yet to hit the exacta in 11 tries. Late threat to hit the tri, or crash the exacta if one of the top two is sub-par.
