Top pick: #1 (SALT WATER REIGN) - Races third off a five-month layoff and she'l be cutting back in distance for this. Draws the rail and veteran mare has enough tactical speed to not "get lost early" here. Loves this surface (10-4-1-3) and she can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #8 (Afleet Alexandra) - Very competitive sort won here vs. weaker last out, but she earned a top "figure" and race was her first off a two month break. Win candidate from off the pace.
3rd pick: #6 (Meese Rocks) - The main speed, she stumbled badly last out and race is best viewed as a "toss". That loss broke a three race winning streak and she's a win threat today with a clean getaway.
