Top pick: #8 (LUTESS) - Runs first off a Carava claim (22%) and he brings her back five weeks later with a slight raise in price. Consistent stalker finished second here last year as a maiden and the day she was claimed at Hollywood filly finished second after breaking "slowly." She likes this trip (5-1-2-2) and draws a nice post for her style. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Queen Mariles) - Very speedy filly was an easy winner at this price at Hollywood May 30 and was claimed away from the Mitchell barn that day by A.C. Avila. She chased a fast pace before tiring in an allowance on the grass in her first for the new barn and they quickly drop her back to the purchase price and move her back to the "poly." Win candidate with P. Val.
3rd pick: #6 (Bab at the Bowster) - Runs first off a Mike Mitchell claim (a 39% winning move) and he'll drop her down, shorten her up, and switch her from the turf to the main-track. Irish-bred should be competitive in this spot.
