Top pick: #4 (JERSEY LIFE) (3-1) - Trainer Wesley Ward is having a great meet and does very good work in turf sprints. This home bred filly has been on the sidelines since June 6 when she missed by a 'neck' here at this distance facing special weights. Working nicely for her return, barn drops her down, and removes her blinkers. The horse to beat if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Media Savy) (5-1) - Filly rallied to miss by a 'neck' here at this tag & trip on the grass Dec. 20th. She raced evenly in her follow up start on the dirt, and she's brought back quickly and moves back to the turf. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Royal Stage) (7-2) - Daughter of the grass loving 'Shakespeare' has been competitive in all four starts, two on the grass and a pair on the dirt. Speed/stalker draws a nice post and has a shot turning for home.
4th pick: #7 (Ufeelthiscornelius) (20-1) - Longshot is cutting back in distance after tiring last out going a mile here at this tag on Feb. 1st. Her previous grass sprint was fine and she may grab a share at a very big price.
5th pick: #6 (Crime Buzz) (15-1) - Filly pressed the pace before weakening to finish third here in a dirt sprint Jan. 19th. It was her first in two months and a career best. Barn has her trying the grass for the first time.
