Top pick: #8 (BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR) - Fair Grouds invader is in a top barn (Mike Stidham) and she's won two in a row coming into this. Daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" broke her maiden there Feb. 19, then came right back to beat $25K non-conditioned foes. The choice in a very tough contest.
2nd pick: #9 (Winiliscious) - Filly by "Lawyer Ron" has won two of her four outings and last out was a winner on an entry-level allowance at Philly Park going two-turn. In shape, in a winning barn (Tony Dutrow), and a threat right back.
3rd pick: #5 (Smokin Alice) - She looked sharp defeating weaker on March 16th and trainer Rudy Rodriguez will move her up in class off a five week freshening. Speed/stalker has a shot at a square price.
