Top pick: #7 (BLIND LUCK) - Last year's 3-year-old filly champ hasn't won since taking the Alabama S. (G1) at Saratoga last August, but has finished second in all 5 starts since and strong finisher should get a fast/contested pace to rally into. Daughter of "Pollard's Vision" won the Kentucky Oaks (G1) on this surface a year ago and is the choice in a strong field.
2nd pick: #4 (All Due Respect) - Races under the name of trainer Mike Nevin while his boss Rick Dutrow serves yet another suspension for a medical violation. She's capable of a very big effort when in form and that appears to be the case as she comes into this off a win in a Florida-bred stakes at Gulfstream March 27th. Filly has a flexible style and is a win threat at a nice price.
3rd pick: #8 (Unrivaled Belle) - Hard-hitting mare won the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (G1) last Nov. on this surface and comes into this off a tiring 3rd place finish in her seasonal debut at Gulfstream five weeks ago. Stalker is the probable favorite and should get a solid pace in front of her. Win candidate, but at a short price.
