Top pick: #7 (BILA SHAKA) - Daughter of "Bertrando" has finished second in her last pair, one each on dirt & turf and this 4-year-old is improving with each trip to the gate. Speed/stalker retains Valenzuela and she's the choice for the win on turf or the main-track in the event this contest is switched.
2nd pick: #3 (Cookinthisorthat) - Price play ran the best race of her career two back when she finished second here at this level and distance in the only turf appearance in her 8 race career. Contends this afternoon at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Distant Glow) - Filly races today off a 5 month layoff and a positive trainer change to Mike Puype. Working fast for this and when last raced she was finishing third at this level on the Hollywood infield. Stretch threat.
