Top pick: #1 (LEHIGH LASS) (6-1) - One of a pair of debuting fillies, she has the rail, a fine workout line, and is in a good first out barn (Chris Englehart 20% with "firsters).
2nd pick: #9 (Dixie Sparkle) (7-2) - She's been competitive in 4 of her 5 starts and stalker draws outside of the pace. Barn scratched her yesterday to await this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Ms True Way) (4-1) - Improving mare has fine early speed and last out she held to finish 2nd at this level and distance on this surface. She was also scratched yesterday to race in this contest.
4th pick: #5 (Bonita Sonata) (5-2) - Filly has had a lot of chances and comes off a so-so-3rd place finish going a mile. Working well since, trainer Bill Badgett drops her into a career soft spot.
