Race was her first in this country and first off a 6 1/2 month layoff. She'd won her last three starts in England before coming to California and Irish-bred can take another.
2nd pick: #1 (Capital Plan) - Steady performer come off a win at Santa Anita April 21st in the (G2) Santa Barbra Hdcp and she has the inside post and fine early speed. Working steadily for the Hollendorfer barn and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Quiet Oasis) - Another Irish-bred, she keeps only the best of company and is (8-3-1-1) overall. Last out she won the (G3) Wilshire Hdcp on this surface and the added distance today shouldn't pose a problem.
