Top pick: #3 (GISELE AT FONZ'S) (2-1) - Speedy daughter of "Swiss Yodeler" goes turf to dirt and takes a sizable drop in class. Lightly raced, improving, and she'll be very tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #8 (Ryderoo) (3-1) - Home-bred was a "winner" here at this level on Feb. 23rd, but was disqualified and placed second following a "bumping" incident in late stretch. She followed that up with a wide & even effort last out, and should be a major factor with her best.
3rd pick: #5 (Theatrical Cast) (10-1) - 3yo makes her debut off a series of works on this surface dating back to late January. In a capable & crafty barn (Jeff Mullins), she need not be much to impact against this crew.
4th pick: #1 (Rich in Tradition) (8-1) - Long-time maiden raced both evenly & wide here facing weaker March 23. That broke up a series of three straight second place finishes for a $20K tag, and she draws the rail while "doubling up" in price.
