Top pick: #4 (BABENEAU) - Filly rallied from far back to finish second on a muddy track sprinting in late Feb and then chased and tired a bit three weeks later in her second outing. High-percentage barn (Mike Chambers) brings her back in 3 weeks and will move her to the turf and stretch her out distance. Daughter of "Forest Danger" is bred to like the grass and she's the top pick in this contest.
2nd pick: #2 (Tidy Rules) - She's raced evenly in her first pair including a fifth-place finish at this level and distance Feb. 11. Freshened up since that time she's working above average and can factor this afternoon at a nice price.
3rd pick: #6 (Winsome Games) - Filly ran evenly in a dirt sprint here Mar. 14 and did so after stumbling at the start. Race was her first in 7 months and trainer Tim Gleason will stretch her out in distance and move her to the grass. Daughter of "Grand Slam" can factor with some improvement.
