Top pick: #4 (WARREN'S LADY) - Filly returns from a 5 month layoff and is working fast at Santa Anita for her return. Home-bred flashed big early speed in all three starts facing special weights and will drop into a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (Lorenbray) - Well-bet in her debut and she ran a solid 2nd after being involved in a pace-duel. Grey filly has had a month to recover and trainer Kristen Mulhall (36% 2nd time out) has put a pair of nice works into her and will drop her slightly in price. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Random Luck) - Nice effort last out saw her race close-up while wide and tired a bit to finish 4th at this price July 8. Moves to the rail, gets a rider upgrade to Valenzuela, and filly has an impressive local work Jul5 23.
4th pick: #3 (What a Shill) - First time starter by "Artie Schiller" is working steadily and above average for the Cerin barn and his "go to" rider Raf Bejarano is aboard. The pair wins at an excellent 37% rate when teamed up over the past 18 months (23 for 62).
