Top pick: #3 (SAINT ISABELLE) - Lightly raced, well-bred, has good early speed, just missed last out, and filly is in a hot barn (Mike Puype). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Jet Blue Girl) - Strong finisher was 1 1/2 lengths off the top pick last out and it was her first effort in a half-year. She's worked well since and it's nice to see trainer Pete Eurton bring her back on short notice (20 days). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Toro Bonito) - She's been racing evenly of late but should get a favorable pace scenario in front of her to helf her kick in better late. Racing into shape following a layoff she'll be cutting-back in distance for this attempt.
