Top pick: #1 (STROPPY ) - Mare raced evenly in all six starts lastseason but gets a major trainer upgrade for her 2010 debut. She's now in the high-octane barn of Julio Canani (27% with new arrivals) and she's been working fast and frequently on this surface for the past month. She has some back class and the new barn seems to have her straightened away.
2nd pick: #6 (Wada Falls) - The main speed she races in the name of Ral Ayers while his boss (Jeff Mullins) is on suspension. Fits at the level and distance and has a "bullet" drill here since her last race. Win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Ultra Awesome ) - Speed/stalker exits a win on this surface at this price May 2. Likes to win and trainer Tim Yakteen paid up for her last fall after she was claimed away for one race. Win candidate.
