Top pick: #11 (BETTER THAN SWISS) - Logical selection and the probable favorite. She's finished second in all three starts since returning from 9 1/2 month layoff. Speed/stalker draws a nice outside post and she should be racing just off the top early and assume command as they turn for home. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #5 (Sachem Road) - Daughter of "Desert Warrior" hasn't raced since Feb. 21, but is working both fast and frequently for her return. Bred for the grass and her trainer (Dave Donk) is sharp off of long layoffs (24%).
3rd pick: #1 (Out Nice Them) - Speedy type shortens-up in distance and runs for a new trainer (Tim Ritvo). Daughter of "Mecke" draws the hedge and attracts Dominguez.
