Top pick: #7 (DEANAALLEN'SKITTEN) - Well-bred, improving, in a winning barn (Chad Brown), and she comes off a pair of narrow defeats at this level and distance. Wins this with a repeat of either of those.
2nd pick: #1 (Suroff) - Stretch-out sprinter showed some speed in her debut and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin will move her to the turf and stretch her out in distance. Barn is good in all the relevant catagories and this filly drwas the rail. Speed threat at a big price.
3rd pick: #4 (Smart Farming) - Obvious contender had trouble in her latest but was competitive in her three prior to that, all on the turf. In the Rice barn and a contender.
