Top pick: #5 (INDIAN BLESSING) - Champion two-year-old filly from '07 has developed into a nice runner at three-years-old, which is not always the case. She's become a much more manageable horse, as instead of being just a front-runner, filly has been able to conserve her energy in several of her starts before making her move. She is one-for-one on artificial surfaces and she's been training sharply on this surface for the past month. Her ability to stay close-up without the lead could prove decisive.
2nd pick: #9 (Dearest Trickski) - She's very fast and is a proven commodity on artificial surfaces (8-6-1-0). Though she has yet to run on this new "Pro-Ride" main track, she has trained superbly for this and she draws outside of the other speed runners, and that's always an advantage, especially at this seveb-furlong distance. Dangerous runner.
3rd pick: #3 (Intangaroo) - Fields strongest finisher has proved equally adept on both poly surfaces and conventional dirt. Training in fast fashion for this attempt, she is a bit of a specialist at these difficult middle-distances (5-3-1-0). Pace could be fast/contested and a clear trip early could lead to a big finish late.
