Top pick: #5 (HOME JOURNEY) (5-2) - Very speedy filly finished a pace-setting 2nd at this level and distance at Santa Anita on March 28th in her first off a two month break. Cal-bre's best ever came on this surface last Nov when she was an 8 1/2 length winner of an entry-level allowance for state-breds. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Miss American Pie) (3-1) - Lightly raced stalker ran wide and evenly in the same March 28 contest as "Journey" and was two back of that rival at the finish. She broke her maiden here in late Nov and trainer John Sadler has he making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #3 (Blushing Angel) (3-1) - Strong finisher also exits the same last race as the top pair and she made up some ground while very wide following a "bobbling" start. Stretch threat.
