Top pick: #6 (EMOLLIENT) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and competitive (4-2-2-0), Juddmonte home-bred was a winner here on Feb. 16 in her seasonal debut and probably wasn't "fully cranked" for her first start since late Nov. Trainer Bill Mott has worked her fast twice at Payson Park for this and believe she's got big things ahead of her.
2nd pick: #3 (Live Lively) (3-1) - She has dangerous early speed and comes into this with a three race winning streak. Daughter of "Medglia d'Oro" was a gate-to-wire winner here going two-turns on Feb. 23 in the "Davona Dale" stakes (G2) and will be very tough on the lead.
3rd pick: #5 (Dreaming of Julia) (2-1) - Filly by "A.P. Indy" was a G1 winner last season as a 2-year-old and finished second here on Feb. 23 to "Lively" in her first start since Nov. 2. Talented "Stonerstreet" home-bred is an obvious win candidate.
4th pick: #1 (Cue the Moon) (4-1) - Trainer Jim Bond has picked a tough spot for this filly's seasonal debut, but she's working fast at Palm Meadows and showed plenty of talent in her two starts last season. Dangerous if ready.
