Top pick: #5 (WARRIOR MAID) - Talented filly won her debut at Delaware and had a very eventful trip last out in her first on this surface. She had problems at the start and found herself last in the large field (12). She then proceeded to race in heavy traffic while moving up, swung out in mid-stretch and flew home to finish second. A clear trip wins this.
2nd pick: #3 (Lightlightlight) - She finished a fine third last out off a five-month break for 2008's leading trainer - Steve Asmussen. She was only a neck behind the top pick last out and has worked well since that "comebacker." The main threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Trysting) - Came from far back to win her debut, then for some reason was sent for the lead in her first against winners before tiring badly. Tom Amoss-trained filly will no doubt resort to the rating tactics.
