Top pick: #2 (KITTY'S THUNDER) - Speedy daughter of "Thunder Gulch" finished a pace-setting second last out racing for twice this price and is dropped down into a winning spot by trainer Bruce Brown. C.C. Lopez is back aboard and this filly is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (She's Fired Up) - Recent maiden winner has shown improvement in each start since her debut and was an easy winner at this distance on March 4 when she won by 6 lengths. Has the rail and is nicely spotted in her first facing winners. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Montessori) - Another who was an impressive maiden winner last out when she rallied from far pack to win by 3 1/2 lengths. Lightly raced, well-bred, and a stretch threat.
