Top pick: #7 (QUEENIE MARINI) - Lightly-raced filly is speedy and is set up for a big effort by trainer Bob Baffert. Filly just missed last out in her first back off a four month break and comes back in 16 days for this stakes attempt. Can stalk if necessary and that versatility gives her an edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Subpoena the Dress) - One of two multiple winners entered and this mare has six scores facing cheaper to her credit. In career best shape, she's working fast, has a strong closing kick, and is a win candidate despite the class rise.
3rd pick: #8 (Melbisha) - Races second back off a 7 week break and she'll be cutting-back in distance for this. Working nicely and she'd love a fast pace to rally into.
