Top pick: #10 (Paraiba) - Filly ran well in three turf starts last season at two, finishing second in all of them, including a pair on this course. Sharp win in her first start this year and she has room for more improvement. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Our Golden Dream) - She set the pace in her seasonal debut and held down the place spot to a winner who has since come back to take another. Has the hedge and fine early speed. She's in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #6 (Smart Engagement) - Nice win in her only start last season at two, defeating the top pick in the process. Daughter of "Smart Strike" is in a good barn (Jim Bond) and has been working steadily for a couple of months.
