Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (RAPPORT) - Daughter of "Songandaprayer" hasn't raced since last August at Saratoga and undergoes some changes today. Filly runs for a new barn (Bob Baffert), tries a synthetic surface for the first time, races beyong 5.5 furlongs, and does so with "blinkers off". Her work tab suggests that they'll all add up to a maiden win.

2nd pick: #2 (Honey Bunch) - Probable favorite finished 2nd last out on this surface racing at this level and is working fast since. The main danger.

3rd pick: #3 (D'Elegance) - Also trained by Baffert daughter of "El Corredor" flashed solid speed last year in a trio of starts and races today off a 8 1/2 month layoff. Working fast, presumably with the "blinkers on" that she'll wear this afternoon.
