Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (QUIET OASIS) - Lightly-raced Irish-import missed by a nose here last Feb. in the G3 La Habra S. at this distance, and has been on the sidelines since. She was competitive last fall in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G2) in her first in this country and is training very fast for her return. The horse to beat

2nd pick: #7 (My Untamed Heart) - Speed/stalker has a recency edge on "Oasis" and comes into this off a pair of sharp efforts at Del Mar in August, her first ever on the grass. Working fast and Bejarano gets aboard for the first time.

3rd pick: #5 (Fork Lightning) - Grey daughter of "Storm Cat" spent the first part of her career in England and France and races today off a four month break and a trainer change to Eoin Harty. Another who's working fast and she's a threat from off the pace today.

4th pick: #6 (Royal Tiger) - She has a lot of early speed, but has been tiring on a consistent basis since breaking her maiden last Dec. at Hollywood Park. Races second off a half-year's absence and she'll take them as far as she can.
