Top pick: #5 (WARREN'S CRACKER) (5-1) - Price play is lightly raced and comes off a very trip going "down the hill" on Feb. 16. Warren home-bred stretches back out, likes this mile trip, and Bejarano is back on the re-ride.
2nd pick: #6 (Veronica Bay) (8-1) - She ran a career best here just one week ago and is brought back quickly and stretches back out in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Seraphic Slew) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced, she rallied to finish second here at this level and distance on Feb. 7. Freshened up since and trainer Dave Hoffmans has her working fast.
4th pick: #12 (Van Dien Avenue) (3-1) - Veteran maiden has been competitive many times at this level and has faced tougher fields than this in the past. However, her outside post hurts her overall chances a bit.
5th pick: #10 (Little Unusual) (12-1) - This is start #37 and this filly is most likely limited to a small slice at a big price with a late rally.
