Top pick: #4 (AMERICAN LADY) - Lightly raced grey daughter of "Stormy Atlantic" is one of two filies entered by trainer Bob Baffert and the pair race uncoupled. She went (3-2-1-0) in her first three starts prompting Baffert to ship her cross-country where she tired bacdly after a poor start in the (G1) Test Stakes at Saratoga in early August. Away for 8 months, 4yo finished 2nd when returning April 5th at Santa Anita and is working very fast since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Spectacular Sky) - Steady performer is (11-2-3-3) overall and finished a respectable 3rd last out despite a poor start to the talented Reneesgotzip racing here May 4th in an allowance contest. Effort was her first in two months and she'll stretch-out in distance and draws the best post in this small field. Dangerous rival.
