Top pick: #5 (MAYA CHARLI) - Bred for the turf she raced well on it last out in her first on the infield. Daughter of "Cozzene" is in the Pletcher barn and she showed fine early speed last out. Can win this from on, or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #3 (Moneigh) - Proobable heavy favorite races against fellow New York-breds for the first time after being competitive at the Fair Grounds and Keeneland facing "open" maidens. Strong finisher is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (My Honey Laurie) - Bargain-priced ($1000) daughter of "Mayakovsky" will move to the turf after three solid dirt efforts to begin her career. Exotics factor.
4th pick: #6 (Bretton Woods) - She hasn't run since Oct. 25 but proved last season that she likes the turf and is working nicely for her return. Threat if ready.
