*** denotes morning line odds
1 – INFINITO: three-year-old bay filly out of Silent Valor – Salino - With eight starts to date, Infinito is the most experienced of this lot but has nothing to show for her exploits, and that won’t change on Saturday. *** 99-1
2 – ZION’S PRINCESS: three-year-old bay filly by Midnight Hawk out of Lookatmenow: Even with the tongue tie on Zion’s Princess will be overwhelmed. *** 14-1
3 – LADY JOYCE: three-year-old roan filly by Midnight Hawk out of Winningitis - This filly has one race to her credit and was more than 30 lengths behind the winner…enough said. Lady Joyce races with the blinkers off and first-time Lasix. *** 18-1
4 – MILA’S ALL THAT: three-year-old chestnut filly by Bern Identity out of Salty Talk – Was all the rage on debut 20 days ago but those expectations were tempered after a slow break, with Mila’s All That eventually finishing third going 5 ½ furlongs. With that run in her hoofs, Mila’s All That must have stripped fitter and will be there when this maiden contest is being decided. *** 9-5
5 – THE PULSE - three-year-old bay filly by Casual Trick out of Heart Beat -The Pulse has had two outings to date and nothing to show for them. The Pulse races with the tongue tie on. *** 60-1
6 – NEFERTARI: three-year-old bay filly by Savoy Stomp out of Princess Geeta - This well-bred filly makes her debut, and does so with great expectations. Nefertari has more that caught the eye in the mornings while producing some exciting spins and is expected to get off the mark immediately. On Saturday, February 26, Nefertari galloped an easy 1:01.4 over the five furlongs straight course. Then one week later on March 5, Nefertari clocked 1:08.0 for 5 ½ furlongs working with Valhalla who was timed in 1:07.4. *** 8-5
7 – DUJOUR: a three-year-old dark bay filly by Savoy Stomp out of First Kiss - Has no chance of winning. *** 3-1
8 – SHE’S FANTASTIC: a three-year-old bay filly by Bern Identity out of Fantabulous - Did well in her first start, ending in second place behind A Gift From Ben with Mila’s All That occupying the third slot. She’s Fantastic has been working fairly well since her debut and is seeking to put her first tick in the win column. *** 5-2
9 – MISS CALEESI: a three-year-old grey filly by Midnight Hawk out of Auntie Rhoda: Five appearances without hitting the board. Miss Caleesi is out of this one. *** 16-1
