Top pick: #6 (ROYAL LAHAINA) (8-1) - Price play Has won two in a row on this surface, the latest a career best when she defeated weaker on Feb. 15. That win came in her first race in two months and firt for Rudy Rodriguez. Can pull the "upset" this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Twice the Lady) (5-1) - She enters this off a career best when she rallied to win a small stakes here at this distance on Jan. 26. Stalker draws the rail, is working fast, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Sunny Desert) (3-1) - Hard-hitting state-bred has won six in a row, the last five of those all stakes. She defeated a small field of "open" stakes fillies last out and it's very hard not to consider her for the top spot in her present form.
4th pick: #4 (Summer Applause) (2-1) - The probable heavy favorite, she had a "throw out" race in late January at Sam Houston Downs in a $400K stakes in her first since early May. Training well since at Palm Meadows and a threat, but at a short price.
