#12 SEDUCER (6-1) easily went all the way in her turf bow at this distance, and was wide and no threat in a local stakes race March 28. She shows back-to-back bullets for this and can go better under Irad Ortiz Jr.

#1 Envoutante (8-5) ran well in all three starts for Ken McPeek, and she looked great graduating in a dirt route April 2. She handled turf in her bow and I like her early-pressing versatility.

#2 Highland Glory (9-2) switched to turf in her last pair of won both of those races. She kicked nicely in the stretch in those two flat mile races.

#11 Bajan Girl (15-1) exits an even 4th in the Gulfstream Park Oaks, and winner Swiss Skydiver just won Friday’s Fantasy Stakes. The lightly raced filly is back on her winning surface and looks live at a price under Paco Lopez.
