Top pick: #1 (RICSPRETENTIOUSGAL) - Bet down to favoritism last out, she missed by a 1/2 length at this price and distance. Lightly-raced filly had some serious traffic issues that afternoon and was probably best. Has the rail, a fine work April 9th, and she's the choice to break her maiden.
2nd pick: #3 (Freckles Galore) - She was involved from start to finish last out and weakened very late to check-in third, almost 2 lengths back of "Ric". Home-bred has fine early speed, a bullet 6-furlong drill a week ago, and is a win candidate.
