Top pick: #4 (FOUR GIFTS) - Freshened-up since finishing far back in the Fair Ground's Oaks (G2), I don't believe she cared for the sloppy track that day. Shortens-up and she had a sharp win on this course last fall. The pick. One of a pair from trainer Steve Asmussen and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #1 (Jenda) - She's traded decisions with the top pick before and last out finished third to the talented "Rachel Alexandra". Cuts-back in distance and is working sharply. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Suspicious) - The second of the Asmussen runners. Lightly raced and talented (3-2-1-0) she draws an outside post and will be sent hard. If filly clears off early, she could be tough late.
