Top pick: #7 (IT'S TRICKY) - Lightly raced, talented, and she went (8-4-3-0) last year winning just over $1M in earnings. Daughter of "Mineshaft" won her seasonal debut here on March 3rd in the (G2) Top Flight Hdcp. and is working extremely fast for this as she cuts back in distance. 4-year-old had a bullet half-mile breeze at Belmont on March 30th, the best of 100 runners at that distance that AM. Gets a alight edge over Nicole H.
2nd pick: #3 (Nicole H) - Outstanding sprinting mare is in great shape and comes into this off a second-place finish at Laurel on Feb. 18 in the Barbara Fritchie S.(G2) when she tired in the final 100yds. Mare by "Mr. Greeley" won this stakes last year and is the likely winner if "Tricky" is sub-par.
3rd pick: #6 (Her Smile) - Strong finisher runs third off a 3 1/2 month break and was competitive at Gulfstream in a pair of stakes after returning in Feb. She woul love a fast/and or contested pace to develop.
