Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (EDEN STAR) - Daughter of "Eddington" finished second last fall in the G2 Pocahontas S. at Churchill at 25-1, then didn't run a lick a month later on the same surface at 4-5. Freshened-up since by trainer Eric Reed, she's working fast and dtaws a nice post for this 7 furlong trip. Takes this if ready.

2nd pick: #3 (Pink Lollipops) - Filly ran evenly in her debut on Jan. 22 and she had some minor traffic issues that day. $110,000 daughter of "Silver Deputy" is working fast at Hollywod Park for her return and Baffert names his main rider (Marty Garcia) today. Bred to go longer and this filly gets some extra yardage today.

3rd pick: #7 (Heidi Maria) - Wide in her debut, she was only beaten 2 1/4 lengths. Working fast since, Valenzuela takes the mount, and she draws a good post and goes a 1/16th farther. Stretch threat.
