Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (BOX WINE BETTY) - Tries real dirt after racing against better and "holding her own" at Woodbine. Good barn (Mark Casse) has her working sharply on the local surface. Drops in price and draws the rail. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Rocket's Lady) - Looks well set-up for a top try. Filly recently returned from a 10-month break and showed excellent early speed while being ridden hard, a sign that she needed the race. Drops off of that, and this was probably their intended target.

3rd pick: #5 (Jeremantha) - Shortens-up in distance and goes turf to dirt. Filly finished third two back at Louisiana Downs on the main-track. Should run well with the recent longer race giving her some "bottom."
