Top pick: #2 (HOLYCHOIR) - Speedy filly takes a big plunge today and the belief here is that she's just plain faster and better than this group. In a winning barn (Chris Hartman) and she's the horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Cart's Forty Nine) - She whistled over a bottom-level group of Illinois-bred last out at Fairmount Park and she brigs some good early speed to the contest. Contender.
3rd pick: #6 (Beautiful Holiday) - Turf Paradise shipper takes a big drop off a 3 1/2 month break and has some nice local drills showing. Stalker shoul get a fast pace to rally into.
