Top pick: #5 (KEEP BUSTIN) (7-2) - Hard-hitting home-bred moves way up in class for her first stakes attempt. Daughter of G1 winner "Bustin Stones" has gone 11-5-4-1 overall and has run well on this surface in the past. Speed/stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (My Jopia) (6-1) - Stakes winner on the grass, she's won on the dirt here in the past and enters this in career best dform. Stalker draws a nice outside post at this trip for her style, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Vicki's Dancer) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. Filly runs third back from a 4 1/2 month layoff and second off a claim. Working fast and a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Kelli Got Frosty) (3-1) - The second of the Rodriguez pair, she's a stakes winner on this surface and has done well at this distance at 3-0-2-1. She goes second off a 100 day freshening and last out was only 1 1/2 back of "Keep Bustin." Stretch threat.
