Top pick: #5 (REINE DES COEURS) - Once classier mare has been sharp in her last pair when dropped down to this price and last out she was re-claimed by trainer Gerald Bennett after losing her for one start to the leading barn here (Jamie Ness). Stalker is working fast for this and can run the speed down late.
2nd pick: #4 (Hands Wavering) - Veteran has been competitive in 4 straight at this price and this 8- year-old mare has enough speed to stay in this all the way. This is her favorite surface and she's a threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Bedouin) - Mare is the main-speed of this contest and moves from a tough outside post to the rail. Capable of a huge effort on occasion but rarely puts good starts back-to-back. She just missed two back at this price, then tired badly in her latest. Can factor today.
