Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (QUANTUM MISS) - Grey filly by "Smoke Glacken" comes back north after a troubled trip in the Ge Old Hat Stakes at Gulfstream in early January. She's working very fast at Philadelphia Park for this and speed/stalker draws outside of the other pace. The top selection.

2nd pick: #3 (Roman Treasure) - Recent maiden winner did so in style and fast time. Race was her first in blinkers and this $200,000 daughter of "Roman Ruler" has come back with a fast work since her win. This is a big step up, but her trainer (Mike Hushion) is doing little wrong here this winter (39-14-9-4). Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (In Step) - $1,000,000 daughter of "Unbridled's Song" was a winner of her debut on Feb. 20 at Gulfstream and she's sent here by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin for her first in a stakes and first facing winners. Has the rail and must be left in the mix.
