Top pick: #7 (Roman Chic) - Races first off a Mike Mitchell claim and he doesn't usually involve himself with many maidens. Filly had some traffic issues last out in her 2nd start back off a 7 month break and raced evenly after an incident at the half-mile pole. Mitchell has given her 5 weeks since he claimed her and has worked this 3yo 4 times during the span. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Lunar Lovegal) - Filly rallied to finish 4th last out and she did so against a strong speed-favoring surface that afternoon. Trainer Pat Gallagher stretches her out in distance and has worked her 3 times since her last race. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Lovely Sophia) - Filly rallied to finish 3rd in a sprint last out in her first race in just over 9 months and trainer Pete Eurton will stretch her out in distance for today's attempt. Jockey Raf Bejarano stays put when it appears that he had other options.
