No. 1 MEDALLA MATCH (5-1) stretches and returns to the turf on his second start after a layoff. She ran well in several grass races last year and should make her presence felt everywhere.
No. 4 Rush Hour Traffic (9-2) is a precocious mare making her first start in over five months. She shoots for it, manages any foot and frequently finishes in the top three.
No. 6 Niceno (2-1) is a late runner hoping for a pace duel between my top two picks. She has the best late pace ratings and can get there if the course of the race suits her.
No. 7 Lady Hideaway (3-1) won three straight local grass races last summer. It’s her first outing in more than eight months and she will try to get involved later.
