Top pick: #5 (R HEAT LIGHTNING) - Filly looks like she'll be a major force in the big races down the road in her division. Daughter of "Trippi" showed some big promise at age two and destroyed a field going a mile here in the G2 Davona Dale stakes in late Feb. Home-bred will stretch-out around two-turns for this, but last fall proved it's within her range when she ran 2nd in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Churchill Downs. The "figure" earned last out towers over these and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (It's Tricky) - Undefeated filly ships down from New York where she's won her first three starts including an easy win in a small stakes at Aqueduct on Feb. 20. Training nicely since coming to Florida and she looks like the main threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Beso Grande) - She's never run a bad race and was a winner here on Feb. 17 going a mile in hser seasonal debut and first back off a three month layoff. Can factor in the same race exotic bets.
