Top pick: #5 (GLADSONG) - Mare by "Tale of the Cat" likes this surface and races today second back off a 4 month layoff. Five-year-old ran evenly in her return start at Gulfstream and can take this with normal improvement in her second back off the break.
2nd pick: #1 (Xpectation) - Drops down to a new low in price after a troubled trip at Gulfstream on Feb. 25. Runs today third back off almost a 5 month break, has the inside post, and is a stretch threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (The Lady Waffles) - Stretch runner is consistent facing weaker, but has always found this $25K price a bit too tough. May rally late to pick up a share.
