Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (FANTICOLA) (3-1) - Hard-hitting Canadian-bred has gone 5-3-1-1 since switching to the turf and her spedd/stalking style should play well here. Working fast, likes this trip, and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Oscar Party) (8-1) - Price play moves up in class after a pair of solid second-place finishes on this course when facing weaker. She's working well, has a flexible style, and has a shot at a square price.

3rd pick: #2 (One Time Only) (4-1) - Lightly-raced filly by "Lemon Drop Kid" moves up in class seeking her third in a row. Speed/stalker won an entry-level allowance going "Down the Hill" on Feb. 22 and has won here at this mile distance in the past.

4th pick: #3 (Unusual Hottie) (5-1) - Stakes veteran runs third back off a pair of layoffs and strong finisher should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into. Blinkers go on and mare must be left in the mix.
