Top pick: #6 (FLAWLESS JEWEL) - Filly has been on vacation for 100 days and trainer Kristin Mulhall will try some different things with her today. Drops into a claimer for the first time, goes turf to "poly," and she'll shorten up this daughter of "With Distinction" in distance. Working both steadily and above average, and she can take this at a nice price.

2nd pick: #1 (My Diane) - $170,000 filly by "El Corredor" hasn't seen action since she raced evenly facing special weights at this distance at Santa Anita on Jan. 30. Working nicely for trainer John Sadler and he'll drop her into a claimer and he's 9-for-19 on this type of price reduction. Win Candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Swiss Gem) - She stalked and finished evenly last out at this tag and checked in 5th of eight, beaten 4 1/2 lengths. Can factor, but needs to do a bit better at "crunch" time.
