Top pick: #5 (ROSSI RESERVE) (2-1) - Speedy veteran has won eight races overall with the rest of the field having a combined 10. Mare has a fine record at this distance (6-1-2-1), comes off a sharp race at Santa Anita on May 2nd, and had a sharp work eight days ago.
2nd pick: #4 (Glorified) (3-1) - English-bred takes a big drop in price, will be going turf to "poly," and shortening up in distance. She's one for two on synthetic surfaces and should contend on the drop.
3rd pick: #3 (Plazarita) (3-1) - She finished third at this tag going a mile at Santa Anita on March 31st in her first off a seven week break. Trainer Jorge Gutierrez has her working both steadily and above average, and mare can factor with her best.
