Top pick: #5 (CAVAL) (8-5) - With the late scratch of #2 Jazzminegem that leaves this lightly-raced filly as the only speed. Keeneland invader just failed to hold on there April 16th racing at this level and distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Irish Sweepstakes) (4-1) - The field's most experienced filly, she ran wide and evenly going a mile at Aqueduct at this level April 3rd. She's worked twice since, draws the rail, is cutting back in distance, and 4-year-old is making back-to-back starts for the first time since late in 2014.
3rd pick: #6 (Darnley Bay) (8-1) - A six-time winner, mare has gone 8-1-3-2 on the Belmont dirt in the past. Freshened up since March 13th, she won twice at Gulfstream going a mile at that time. She'll need some pace help to set up her late charge.
