Top pick: #2 (PUTTYBADSHARK) (4-1) - She's been sharp in both starts since returning from a year's layoff in late March. Her latest produced an impressive maiden win here on May 3rd and trainer Brian Koriner has worked her four times since then at Los Alamitos. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #5 (Corinthian Melody) (9-2) - She's cutting back off a pair of lackluster two turn efforts and her lone win came here at this distance on Jan 24th. Strong finisher is a factor at a square price with her "A" game.
3rd pick: #4 (Tough Business) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, she was an easy and daylight maiden winner here for a $20K tag going 5-furlongs on May 22nd. It was her first on real dirt and she's an obvious threat right back at a short price.
4th pick: #3 (Warrens Lil Margie) (5-2) - Warren home-bred has a flexible style and is cutting back after finishing a pace-setting second here at this level going a mile on May 23rd. That was a career best overall and 3-year-old must be left in the mix.
