Top pick: #2 (BEST PRESENT EVER) - Lightly raced and improving filly broke her maiden at santa Anita March 31st going "down the hill". Win came in her 2nd back off a 7 1/2 month layoff and speed/stalker wil be trying a two-turn distance and facing winners, both for the first time. The top choice, she's one of two fillies entered by trainer Eric Kruljac and the pair race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #5 (Donna Wasser) - Almost made her the top choice. Mare ships back from Turf Paradise where she was an easy winner in a 2l alloawnce there on April 10th. In shape, she's run well here in 4 of 5 starts, and makes her first start for Mike Mitchell( a 32% winning angle) Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Unusual Hottie) - Scratched yesterday out of a $300K stakes that was on the "poly", trainer John Sadler instead has her race in an easier spot on the grass. Lightly raced, getting better, she's in the mix this afternoon.
