Top pick: #3 (SALT TEQUILA LIME) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well-bred filly has shown good early speed in a pair facing tougher, and trainer Bob Baffert will drop her into a claimer, and has her making back-to-back starts, both for the first time. Working fine and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Tribal Spy) (7-2) - Daughter of "Tribal Rule' rallie to miss by a neck here at this price-tag going six furlongs April 28. Given five weeks to recover, she draws a nice outside post, and the extra 1/16th she travels today is in her favor.
3rd pick: #7 (U R My Candy Girl) (3-1) - Filly raced evenly here in the same April 28 contest as "Spy" and finished third, two lengths back of that rival. Race was her first off an 80 day break, first on a "poly" surface, and she's been working fast since.
4th pick: #2 (Tiz Anna) (7-2) - "Anna" tries her best every time, and has gone (6-0-2-3) when racing in maiden claimers. Daughter of "Tiz Wonderful" has been sharp in both local appearances and must be left in the mix.
