Top pick: #1 (DOINGHARDTIMEAGAIN) (9-5) - Stakes winner is one of two entered by "Hall of Famer" Jerry Hollendorfer and is the far more accomplished of the pair. She's gone 8-4-3-0, and is a perfect 3-for-3 on this surface, the last two of those coming in stakes. Stalker is working fast locally for her first since April 27th and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Iotapa) (8-5) - Claimed out of her winning debut here a year ago by John sadler for $50K, she did not race again until Feb. and has gone 3-2-1-0 since returning. On April 6th at Santa Anita, she finished second to last year's 2-year-old filly champ "Beholder" in the "Santa Anita Oaks"(G1), and last out took the $74K "Railbird" racing here going 7 furlongs. Dangerous foe.
3rd pick: #5 (Ondine) (4-1) - Consistent sort (5-2-3-0) moves up in class after an impressive allowance win here at this distance on May 11th. Beautifully-bred, in the Baffert barn, and it would be foolish to ignore her.
