Top pick: #5 (EIGHTYFIVE S) - Had all sorts of problems last out and still finished a strong 2nd at this level and distance. Late runner should get a lively pace to close into today.
2nd pick: #9 (Tis Cactus Nellie) - Lightly raced daughter of "Cactus Ridge" drops after a pair of troubled trips at the starter-allowance level. She raced well in both finishing 4th, and is a win contender this afternoon.
3rd pick: #10 (Sweet Bama Breeze) - Speedball draws a tough post for her front-running style, so she'll have to be sent hard. She's the speed of the speed, so expect a big effort.
