Top pick: #6 (DARIEL) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly drops down a bit after a pace-chasing second-place finish for a $40K tag at Aqueduct March 26. Solid effort was her first facing winners following a smashing win when debuting in late January. She draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong trip and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Saluda) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she's gone 5-2-0-2 since early December. Stalker just missed at Aqueduct last out and she's worked since. Daughter of 'Congaree' has a ground saving post and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Racing for Chasen) (6-1) - California shipper has a new trainer (Tony Quartarolo) but still is owned by former her former conditioner Barry Abrams. He sent some horses east last year for the first time and had some success. One-run type has some ability and must be left in the mix.
