Top pick: #3 (NETWORKING) - The probable favorite ran well in both starts last year at age two facing special weights and in her seasonal debut at Gulfstream April 7, she missed by a neck running at this $50K tag. Freshened up for the past 7 weeks by trainer Rick Dutrow, this filly is training sharply and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Hopeoverexperience) - Debuting daughter of "Songandaprayer" cost $200K, is working fast, and is in an excellent first out barn (Rick Violette 28%).Looks set for a strong try in her first outing.
3rd pick: #5 (Margo Verde) - Runs first off a Bob Hess Jr. claim and a subsequent two month layoff. She finished third in her well-bet debut at Santa Anita and has a fast drill on this surface five days ago. Must be left in the mix.
