Top pick: #3 (BLUE BALLERINA) (3-1) - She's clearly the main speed and enters off a gate-to-wire win here at this distance April 6th. That win came for a $16K tag and allowed her to clear the 2l condition. Trainer Oscar Barrera III brings her back quickly and has her nicely spotted in her first attempt at this 3l level.
2nd pick: #6 (Retalfa) (5-2) - Strong finisher rallied into a quick pace to defeat "Ballerina" by a lenght on April 2nd. It was her best overall since late July and daughter of "Flatter" is 2-for-3 on this surface at this trip.
3rd pick: #1 (Heidi's Holiday) (7-2) - Much like "Retalfa," filly likes to rally from far back and last out ran second in a small field (5) racing here at this level and distance. In shape, has the rail, and will be finishing fast.
