Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (INFORMED DECISION) - Very consistent sort (10-8-0-1) has enough speed to stay close to the pace and she's a perfect 5 for five at this seven-furlong trip. Daughter of "Monarchos" won the G1 "Humana Distaff" on "Derby Day" in the slop, so the expected "off" going today shouldn't be a problem. Wins this from off the pace.

2nd pick: #4 (Indian Blesing) - Champ is another who likes this distance (4-3-1-0) and she's also two-for-two locally. Training fast and she should be right off of "Tar Heel" early. Needs to put that rival away turning for home and then hold off the top pick. Entirely possible scenario.
