Top pick: #7 (BARTON SPRINGS) - The sharp barn of W. "Bret" Calhoun sends out this filly for her second start today. She finished an excellent third in her debut after being part of a heated front-end battle. Working fast and frequently since she's the choice in a very good-looking field of maidens.
2nd pick: #4 (Abelia) - Trainer Steve Asmussen's runners are always better second time out and this filly had a very useful debut. She was part of a very fast pace and did well to finish fourth. Working sharply since and she's a big player today.
3rd pick: #10 (Costly) - Nice debut over a half-year ago saw her finish close-up after having a trouble plagued trip. Working sharply for a trainer (Bernard Flint) that is more than capable off of layoffs.
