Honey Rider (#3) loves the Gulfstream turf as she's won 3 of her 6 races over this course. She returned from a 5-month layoff in her last race back on March 4 and put in a solid third place finish. That race was just a conditioning move and was a shorter distance then she usually excels at. With a race under her belt, she relish the stretch out to an extended route of 1 1/2 miles on Saturday behind jockey Velazquez, who has ridden her to 4 victories in 6 tries.

Olaya (#3) is an extended route specialist, winning 2 of her previous 3 starts at 1 1/2 miles or longer. Kentucky bred daughter of Theatrical shipped in from France last fall and has never finished worse then second since arriving in the United States.

Dynamite Lass (#3) is an honest filly, always gives a solid account of herself and has now finished first or second on 8 of her 14 lifetime races. Jockey Bejarano returns to the saddle off a victory over Grade 3 company in her previous start.

Kate Winslet (#8) is slightly overmatched against some of these Graded Stakes winners, but should get a perfect stalking trip and a piece of the purse.

The Play: Trifecta keying Honey Rider for 1st and 2nd. 3 with 1-2-5-6-8 with ALL ($30) and 1-2-5-6-8 with 3 with ALL ($30)
Note: Ticket totals based on $1 wagers.
