Top pick: #8 (BEAUTIFUL STRIKE) - The probable favorite just missed (a nose) in her well-bet debut here at this price May 29th. Filly has a nice maintenence breeze June 20th and her trainer (Pete Miller) wins at a 21% rate second time out. The top selection.
2nd pick: #7 (Savy Smiles) - Daughter of "Roar" is in an excellent first-out barn (Kathy Walsh 30%) and filly is working very fast at Santa Anita for her debut. Dave Flores is aboard, and he's won with 6 of his last 13 when riding for Walsh.
3rd pick: #3 (Lulu's Quest) - Filly has fine early speed and will drop into a claimer after tiring last out facing Cal-bred special weights. Nice work since that effort and Talamo stays put.
