Top pick: #6 (TOP KNOT) (3-1) - Grey filly improved in her second start when she raced wide and evenly, checking in fourth of six when facing special weights on April 26th. Freshened up since by trainer Vlad Cerin, she's working fast and is dropped into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (J K's Mischief) (5-1) - Speedy filly goes turf to dirt, drops into a claimer, and draws a much better post thatn she had in her latest. Working fast and a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Elegant in Silk) (9-2) - Freshened up since April 21st, daughter of "Hard Spun" has shown some talent and will be racing in a career soft spot and on a synthetic surface for the first time.
4th pick: #7 (Hero's Marine) (6-1) - Un-raced since April 19th, filly just missed that day at Santa Anita when racing for a $30K tag. That was a career best and owner/trainer M.K. Cho will switch her to "poly," and adds blinkers. A factor, but think she'll be overbet.
