Top pick: #9 (BEYOND THE MOON) - Filly has races last year at Monmouth that can win this if she can repeat them and last out she pressed the pace before tiring in a race at this level and distance. It was her best here this winter and 4-year-old can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #5 (Sweetsouthernway) - The probable favorite has good positional speed and has finished second in her last pair, both at this level, one at 6.5 furlongs and one at this demanding 7 furlong trip. Daughter of "Sweetsouthernsaint" has a good breeze since and she's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Stariana) - She rallied while wide last out and finished a close-up third, only a length off of Sweetsouthernway. Racing into shape following a layoff and her maiden win came at Calder last June at this distance.
