Top pick: #5 (CHEESE A BAY) - Mare shipe in from Hawthorne where she chased and tired on March 23rd in her first race since Nov. 10th. Strangely enough shs's the only member of this field to have started in 2011 and she also has an early speed advantage on this group. She's (25-4-4-6) on this surface and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Don't Tell Amy) - Lightly-raced filly is working well locally for her first start since last July when she tired badly at this level. She has more positional speed than most entered and could be a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #2 (Holly and Fir ) - Lightly raced, she has a trio of sharp drills showing as filly runs for the first time since last August. She had good early speed in her two wins last summer and if 100% off the eight-month break she could factor.
