Top pick: #7 (KOCHEN BEKI) (5-2) - She's gone winless on the grass (9-0-3-1), but enters off a sharp try here at this level on Feb. 16th. Filly rallied to miss by a "head" that day in what was a career best overall. Gets the call, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #3 (Storming A J ) (4-1) - Another entering off a career best, she rallied to win at this tag going a mile on the dirt Feb. 10th to clear the 2l condition. Bred to handle the grass, she finished sixth of 10, beaten 4 1/2 lengths for twice this price in her only previous turf attempt.
3rd pick: #1 (Athina Lee) (8-1) - Speedy mare is well-bred, lightly raced, and is from a winning barn (Jeff Metz). She drops to a new low, draws the rail, and goes dirt to turf. Her early speed makes her a threat.
4th pick: #8 (Helm''s Magic) (3-1) - No speed type rallied to finish fourth here on Feb. 16th in the same race as "Beki," and was almost three back of that rival at the finish. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
