Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (TWILIGHT ECLIPSE) (3-1) - He's always hinted at ability, but seemed to get it all together in 2013. He won a pair of stakes and finished second in two G1 contests during a year that saw mim win $592K. He took the G2 "Pan American" on this course going 12-furlongs on March 23rd and can take this with his best.

2nd pick: #4 (Slumber) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 6-year-old rallied while wide to finish fourth here in the "Fort Lauderdale" stakes (G2) on Jan. 11. It was his first off a 2 1/2 month break and he worked a bullet 1/2 mile at Payson Park on Feb. 10.

3rd pick: #7 (Amen Kitten) (5-2) - He has absolutely no early speed but almost always makes a late run. Ramsey home-bred rallied from far back to finish third in the "Hollywood Park Derby" on Dec. 1 and has won on this course in the past. The faster the pace, the better his chances.

4th pick: #1 (Suntracer) (6-1) - Illinois-bred has gone 25-6-6-3 over a long career racing in grass stakes and will have no problem with this 11-furlong trip. Can factor, but needs some pace help for any shot at the win.
