Top pick: #5 (COMIN'OFFTHEBENCH) (5-2) - Very lightly-raced 6-year-old mare has sharp early speed and has been competitive in every start (4-1-2-1). She finished a pace-setting third here at this level going 6-furlongs April 12th. She moves off the rail and is shortening up a bit in distance.

2nd pick: #1 (Beyond Lucky) (5-1) - Recent maiden winner did so in wire-to-wire style going 5-furlongs here April 12th. By far a career best, speedy filly has the rail and is nicely spotted in her first facing winners.

3rd pick: #6 (Keezheekoni) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she's been on the sidelines since getting her maiden win here at this distance March 12. Speed/stalker earned the highest figure any of these has reached to date that afternoon and is working steadily for this. An obvious threat at a short price.

4th pick: #4 (Warren's Dixi Bell) (4-1) - Lightly-raced mare is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening up in class. Stretch runner should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
