Top pick: #2 (TOP KISSER) (2-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, she tries winners for the first time after breaking her maiden here at this distance in fast time (1:35.80) on Feb. 18. Home-bred has worked fast twice since and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Luxuriance) (6-1) - Speed/stalker comes off a fine try at this level and distance on Feb. 17. Owen's home-bred had a bullet half-mile work four days ago and should be in this every step at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Cayton) (4-1) - Recent maiden winner did so going "down the hill" Feb. 24 in her second off a 3 1/2 month layoff and first ever on the grass. Trainer Neil French stretches her out in distance and filly had a sharp half-mile work five days ago.
