Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (HOPEFUL UNION) - Talented and lightly-raced daughter of the late "Dixie Union" has been freshened-up by trainer Ron Ellis since finishing second at this level at Santa Anita March 25th going 7 furlongs. Working nicely on the local strip, she'll stretch-out in distance and run on a synthetic for the first time since a pair of sharp efforts early in 2010 before they put in the dirt surface cross town.

2nd pick: #3 (Spectacular Sky) - Speedy filly broke her maiden on the Santa Anita dirt in late Feb., then ran third here April 24th in an entry-level allowance going 6.5 furlongs in her first facing winners. Trainer Marty Jones stretches her out and has her facing older rivals, both for the first time. Her early speed makes her a win candidate.
