Top pick: #1 (SPACECOAST) - She lost as the heavy favorite here nine days ago at this level but was "bumped" early and raced wide once in stride before tiring. Race was her first in seven months and she's brought back quickly, draws the rail, and Pedroza stays put.
2nd pick: #2 (Moloniki) - Filly was away slowly here at this level and distance on Sept. 12 and did well to rally while wide to finish third. In a winning barn (Vann Belvoir) and this 3-year-old is a win candidate with an alert start.
3rd pick: #5 (Saturday's Miracle) - She exits the same Sept. 12th contest as "Spacecoast" and was forced very wide in the first furlong before backing up to run last. Race was her first since Dec. 3, and she probably needed it anyway. Strong factor this afternoon.
