Top pick: #6 (HEY BABE) (5-2) - Mare comes into this off a sharp win here in an upper-level starter-allowance going 6 furlongs on May 10th. In-shape veteran moves up in class, but her early speed and fine outside post make her the top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Greed and Fear) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly runs off a two-month freshening and trainer Rudy Rodriguez will drop her down and adds blinkers. Daughter of "Bob and John" is 2-1-1-0 on this surface and she won the $100K "Safely Kept" stakes at Laurel on Nov. 17th in her only previous race at 7 furlongs.
3rd pick: #2 (Secret Union) (2-1) - Darley filly by "Dixie Union" cost $375K and has been very lightly raced by trainer Tom Albertrani. Lasix is added, and she's been training fine at the Godolphin training complex at Saratoga. Three-year-old must be left in the mix.
