Top pick: #2 (SALUDA) (2-1) - Filly enters off a career best when she rallied from just off the pace to win at this distance March 8th. Barn dropped her down that day off a pair of stakes efforts and she's worked nicely twice since. She moves up a bit, but is now on the rail with the #1 horse being a late scratch. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Patria Querida) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly went evenly following a troubled break when racing at this level and distance March 26th. She was racing first off a claim and a seven week break. Speed/stalker had gone 5-2-2-0 prior to that and is a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Chickaletta) (4-1) - Well bred filly moves up in class after getting her maiden win March 8th. Speed/stalker defeated a next out winner that afternoon and trainer Jeremiah Englehart appears to have this daughter of 'Harlan's Holiday' headed in the right direction.
