Top pick: #7 (MUSIC NOTE) - Daughter of "A.P. Indy" has been carefully managed with this race in mind all year. Godolphin runner has won her last pair in impressive style, one each at Saratoga and Belmont. She finished third last year in this contest, her only previous appearance on a synthetic. Four-year-old is bigger and better this time around and is working like a champ. The top selection.
2nd pick: #1 (Careless Jewel) - One of a pair of sophomore fillies, the other being No. 8 "Rainbow View". Lightly raced, very talented, and she brings big speed/stalking ability to the race. Working super on this surface and she draws the rail. Not a lot of speed signed-up and she's a serious win threat from on, or just off the top.
3rd pick: #6 (Cocoa Beach) - Vetern has had a "light" campaign, but appears to be nearing her peak. Proficient with dirt, turf, and "poly," she finished a solid second last year in this race to the undefeated "Zenyatta". Contender.
