Top pick: #5 (HORIZON SKY) (5-2) - Irish-bred stretches out to a mile after a pair of third-place finishes going "down the hill" at Santa Anita. She races third back off a 4 1/2 month layoff, meets a weak field, and should beat these.
2nd pick: #1 (Pure Loyalty) (7-2) - She tries winners for the first time following a maiden win at this distance on the Santa Anita turf facing special weights on April 7th. Race was her first ever on the grass and this speed/stalker is a threat right back from her inside post.
3rd pick: #3 (Square Dancer) (3-1) - Filly tries hard every time and her turf record stands at (4-2-2-0) with all of those starts coming at this one-mile distance. Lightly raced, improving, and a factor again this afternoon.
