Top pick: #6 (Costa Marta) - Speedster is gradually racing into shape following a long layoff and ran strongly last out at this level and distance. Trainer Marty Jones names Bejarano today and they win at a 38% rate when teamed-up.
2nd pick: #7 (Victory Dash) - Very consistent stalker "necked" the top pick two back, then finished an even third last out facing tougher. Win threat this afternoon as she drops back down.
3rd pick: #8 (Fair Chase ) - Races in a career soft spot as filly returns from a March 12 layoff. Lightly raced, well-bred, expensive ($190,000), and in the Sadler barn. Threat if ready.
