Top pick: #5 (SARDINIAN SOIREE) - Sharp maiden win on Feb. 18 going wire-to-wire in her first start going around two-turns. Meets winners for the first time, but there's not a lot of speed signed up. Expecting her to go gate-to-wire again for a sharp barn (Tony Dutrow).
2nd pick: #1 (Highland Rapids) - Working well for her first off a layoff. Proven late runner may get a solid pace set-up for her tactics. Can make a late run and maybe get into the exotics.
