Top pick: #3 (ZANBO) - Lightly raced home-bred has rallied in both her starst to finish close up and last out at Santa Anita she was forced very wide turing for home going "down the hill" at Santa Anita March 31st. Trainer Mike Puype has worked her four times since and will stretch her out to a mile as 3-year-old makes back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (Unbridled Ambition) - Heavily bet in both appearances going "down the hill" cross town, she was away slowly in her debut March 2nd but rallied to finish second, then ran an even fourth a month later. She stretches out to a mile and that should be beneficial for her.
3rd pick: #12 (Sassy and Simple) - Grey filly has been away slowly in both starts, but made up good ground during the stretch run of each. Working fast for her first start since Jan. 27th, she draws a tough outside post and another slow start may doom her chances this afternoon.
