Top pick: #4 (DARLING DODIE) (3-1) - "Dodie" has beem freshened up since May 18th when she finished a pace-pressing third at Hollywood in a turf sprint. Consistent sort (6-2-0-3) is worlking steadily and can take this with her best.
2nd pick: #1 (Sweet Assay) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate, lightly-raced filly won when debuting at Santa Anita March 31st and has tired going longer in her first pair facing winners. Freshened up for the past two months, she's working fast and has the shortest way home in this abbreviated sprint. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Shrinking Violet) (4-1) - On the sidelines since late Dec., speedy filly is one for three on the turf and was working fast at Keeneland before heading west. Runs with blinkers off and is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #8 (Lemon Hero) (5-2) - As consistent as they come, daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" has a good closing kick and should get a fast pace to rally into. Four-year-old needs to avoid a wide trip from this outside post.
