Top pick: #6 (DANETTE) (3-1) - Stakes placed daughter of 'Curlin' has been freshened up since finishing second here at this level going a mile on the dirt Jan. 2nd. This is her first on the grass, and she meets a rather weak looking field.
2nd pick: #9 (Housemaker) (5-2) - English bred filly finished second in both starts during the late summer in her native country. Working well for new trainer Doug O'Neill, and she races with Lasix added.
3rd pick: #10 (Meta Mu) (4-1) - She's been competitive in each start on the dirt (4-0-2-2). Only a length back of 'Danette' last out, filly is working well and is bred to handle the turf.
4th pick: #4 (Awesome Diamond) (10-1) - Longshot stretches out in distance after racing evenly last out following a troubled start. Irish bred by 'Galileo' has some closing punch and can impact at a big price with a clean getaway.
5th pick: #2 (Miz Penelope) (20-1) - Another longshot, she was eliminated last out after a slow start. Freshened up since that Jan. 3rd effort, she's capable of getting a piece of this at a very big price.
