Top pick: #2 (SO ROYAL) (6-1) - Filly chased and tired in a 5-furlong grass sprint when facing tougher special weights when debuting on Feb. 14. Very good small barn (Lisa Lewis) has worked her three times since and will drop her into a claimer and switch her to the dirt.
2nd pick: #6 (Music N Songs) (4-1) - Improving filly finished 4th of 12, beaten just over two lengths racing at this tag on March 3rd. Trainer Augustin Bezara adds blinkers and this filly is a threat with her best.
3rd pick: #8 (Pearl de Vere) (10-1) - She ran deceptively well when debuting here at thia tag on Feb. 13. She had a very tough outside post (12th of 12) and raced wide and wevenly shile finishing fifth. Good second-out barn (Wayne Catalano 23%) has worked her three times since and she can fator at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (One Tough Cowgirl) (3-1) - Nice debut on Jan. 19 at Tampa Bay Downs saw her chase while wide and finish second of eight at a tough distance (7 furlongs) for a first-time-starter. She has a trio of fine local drills showing and breaks from the rail.
5th pick: #5 (Kind of Wonderful) (12-1) - Away slowly from an outside post when debuting in a two-turn grass race on March 1st she was never involved at any point. Trainer Jane Cibelli (33% second-time out) moves her to the dirt, drops her a bit, and shortens her up in distance.
