Top pick: #3 (TREASURED) (5-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Arch" cost $250K back in 2011 and is in a barn (Jim Bond) that brings his runners along slowly. She missed here at this level and distance on Feb. 2 and did so from a tough outside post. It was her first start since late August at Saratoga when she was beaten just under a length. A bullet half-mile breeze at Palm Meadows on March 7th seals the deal.
2nd pick: #2 (Street Sense) (3-1) - $175K yearling by "Street Sense" has been freshened up since rallying to finish second here at this level going 5-furlongs on Jan. 17. She's working steadily at Palm Meadows, draws a nice post, and is bred to enjoy this longer trip.
3rd pick: #4 (Night Song) (10-1) - Grey filly goes dirt to turf and will be stretching out in distance. $120K daughter of "Midnight Lute" finished second sprinting on the dirt when debuting here on Feb. 9 and is bred to like the grass. Price play.
4th pick: #7 (Magnolia Lane) (4-1) - Well-bred filly exits the same Feb. 2 race as "Treasured" and she raced evenly while finishing almost 5 back of that rival. It was her first start since April 12th, and normal improvement in her second back makes her a threat.
