Premium Pick

Top pick: #12 (MY CONQUESTADORY) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and very talented she's been competitive in all four starts and won the G1 "Alcibiades" stakes last fall on the Keeneland "poly" Daughter of grass chanp "Artie Sciller" finished a close up fourth last Nov. at Santa Anita in the "Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf" (G1) and is the horse to beat despite today's marooned post.

2nd pick: #7 (Sandiva) (5-1) - Irish import has kept some impressive company over-seas and has won a pair of Group 3s. Filly ships off a pair of even efforts facing Group 1 opposition and is a threat in her North American bow.

3rd pick: #4 (Diversy Harbor) (7-2) - She's been freshened up since a solid campaign 5-2-2-1 on the Santa Anita grass earlier this year and has gone 4-1-2-1 in stakes contests. Strong finisher is one for one at this distance and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #8 (Istanford) (8-1) - The main speed, she ships in from the mid-west where she's done very well on the grass 6-3-2-0. Filly became a stakes winner when defeating colts in the (G3) "Arlington Classic" and is dangerous if she gets an easy lead out of the gate.

5th pick: #1 (Tiz the Key) (12-1) - Longshot has some talent, speed/stalking ability, and she breaks from the rail. Can grab a share at a big price with a patient ride.
