Top pick: #5 (RINTERVAL) - Irish-bred mare has improved her game here this winter finishing 3rd in a sprint stakes here on Jan.9th then finishing 2nd last out in a stakes at this mile trip. In a hot barn (Eric Reed) and she looks tough in this spot. The call in a good betting race.
2nd pick: #4 (Complicity) - Daughter of "City Zip" has run well in all her starts on this surface (4-2-2-0) and won her "prep" race for this stakes here on Feb.21st in her first start since Sep.3rd at Saratoga. One run type is in the top barn of Mike Maker who has a pair of fillies entered that will race as separate interests. Contender for the top prize.
3rd pick: #9 (Danzon) - Veteran mare checked-in 3rd last out in the same race as the top pick and was only 1 1/2 lengths back of her at the finish. She has no early speed so she'll need a careful ride from this outside draw. Stretch threat.
