Top pick: #1 (She's Very Rare) - Filly was claimed by Mike Mitchell in late Feb. for $20K and won 65 days later racing for $12.5K. She's been on the shelf since April 2, but is working fine and Mitchell wins at a 21% rate off of long layoffs. She's 2-for-3 on this surface and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Forty Dates ) - Very consistent filly races first off a Jef Metz claim (36%) and he brings her back 20 days later with a slight rise in price. She's won two of her last three, has stalking ability, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Dish the Dirt) - Fragile but talented, she need time off after almost every start and won at Hollywood July 8 racing for $8000. Working fine for this, she has back class and a strong late kick. Stretch factor.
