No. 3 Rosie’s Halo (7-2) made an early move into slow fractions to duel for the lead Feb. 26, and she just held the show in that local, six-panel affair. She ran well in both extended sprints and projects a stalking trip under her winning rider Edgard Zayas. 

No. 7 Broadway Force (5-2) graduated after a long layoff at this course and distance in January and bounced as the beaten favorite Feb. 26. She adds blinkers and might rebound for James Jerkens.  

No. 4 Greatitude (3-1) set the pace and was the third neck on the line in a productive race in the mud in her career bow in 2021. She pressed the pace and graduated at this distance her second time out and went to the sidelines after an unplaced effort in the Forward Gal Stakes last year. This is her first start in more than a year, and Todd Pletcher’s filly should be forwardly placed under Paco Lopez. 

No. 5 Peachy Weachy (5-1) ran a better race in her second start after the Carlos David claim at one mile March 10. She has had success at this trip and should offer wagering value.
