Top pick: #6 (SUBTLE INTENT) (2-1) - From a top barn (Larry Jones), he has this filly making her second start off an 8 1/2 month layoff. She tired facing much tougher after stumbling at the break in her return effort May 16th. Jones drops her way down in class and has main rider Kevin Clark aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Smarty's Legend) (9-2) - She's another with early speed and daughter of 'Smarty Jones' is taking the same drop as 'Subtle Intent.' Philly Park shipper ran there just 10 days ago and looks like the main danger to the top selection.
3rd pick: #5 (Positivo) (5-2) - Santa Anita shipper finished a pace-chasing third there May 2nd, racing for a $20K tag. Nice effort came off a nine month absence and she was sold privately soon after it. Cal bred runs off a trainer change to Wayne Potts (a 21% winning angle off a large sampling).
