Top pick: #1a (TRIPPI'S HOLIDAY) - She's run strong in all three of her starts, all on the grass at or around this price. Speed stalker runs second off a two-month layoff for trainer Stanley Hough and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Hier Eccore) - Daughter of the grass sire, "Horse Chestnut" raced evenly from a poor post (10) in her debut at Gulfstream on March 7, running for $80,000. Freshened-up for the past seven weeks by trainer Chris Clement, she drops significantly for start number two.
3rd pick: #9 (Deputy Empress) - Nicely-bred filly has had problems in all three of her starts. Drops into a claimer for the first time and does so off a two-month break. Win contender from off the pace.
