Top pick: #4 (WAR ECHO) - One of a pair entered by Steve Asmussen and they'll race uncoupled. Lightly raced, well-bred, and talented, she ran the best race of her career last February on this surface when she won a G3 stakes. She won an allowance at Churchill just over a month ago and that should set her up for this. The top pick.
2nd pick: #3 (Pleasantly Blessed) - The second of the Asmussen pair has a great overall mark (19-7-9-0) and like her barn-mate she's one for one on this surface. Almost always runs her best and she's win threat giving the trainer a strong hand in this $100,000 race.
