Top pick: #4 (SHESABRONXBOMBER) (5-2) - Daughter of "Afleet Alex" races off a Rudy Rodriguez reclaim after he lost her for two starts. He brings her back five weeks later at the same level and switches her back to the dirt. Strong finisher has some back class and has done well on this surface in the past (3-1-0-2).
2nd pick: #6 (Princess Mara) (3-1) - She has the best early speed in this small field and last out she went gate-to-wire on the Aqu. turf April 19th racing for a $16K tag. Claimed that day by Dave Jacobson (25% fresh off the buy), mare is more than capable on the dirt and has some back class. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Hundred Acre Wood) (5-1) - Since mid-Feb. this filly by the under-rated "Teufelsberg" has gone (4-1-2-1) and was a winner here at this distance facing cheaper on Apr. 26. She's worked twice since, has tactical speed, and can factor despite moving up in class.
