Top pick: #1 (DREAM PLAY) - Looms large over this field. Last out in her second start off a nine-month layoff she destroyed a field in a small stakes. Win came in wire-to-wire fashion on this surface at this distance. Draws the rail and a clean break may be all she needs.
2nd pick: #3 (Heart Ashley) - Fair Grounds shipper is from the barn of the ever dangerous Steve Asmussen. Won an allowance last out in New Orleans and is the most likely winner if the top pick fails.
