Top pick: #11 (Casa Creed) (9-2) - An excellent bounce-back opportunity for this seven-year-old, who thrives on firm turf. Casa Creed had a forgettable last outing at the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint but is well-rested. Casa Creed had a pair of Grade 1 victories last year at the Fourstardave Handicapp along with winning the 2022 Jaipur Stakes. In fact, Casa Creed has won the last two Jaipur Stakes.

2nd pick: #10 (Big Invasion) (6-1) - Joel Rosario attempts to get Big Invasion back on track after a poor showing at the Twin Spires Turf Sprint. Prior to that, this 4-year-old colt had won seven of eight races with only a third-place finish at 6 1/2 furlongs. This is only the third race of 2023 for Big Invasion, hitting his highest speed figure ever just two races ago in March.

3rd pick: #12 (Caravel) (3-1) - This six-year-old mare won three of seven races in 2021, five of eight in 2022, and is a perfect two-for-two this year. Caravel won the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint in November at 20-to-1 odds. That deep field included two-time Breeders' Cup winner Golden Pal, the favorite.
