Top pick: #4 (MISS MYSTIC) - Races first off a Victor Garcia claim (two for his last six) and this lightly-raced filly has been competitive in both her starts. Daughter of "Purge" has fine early speed, meets a very weak field, and is working sharply for the new barn. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Benecia) - She lost all chance when she had a terrible start in the same last race as "Mystic" and still managed to improve her position late. Has the rail, runs second back off a 7 month layoff, and has a sharp work here six days ago. By far the main danger.
3rd pick: #3 (Rags For Ben) - Longshot exits a very poor race at Del Mar but was in good form prior to that and raced well on the dirt at Santa Anita last winter.
