Top pick: #3 (SHALLOT) (5-1) - She's raced evenly in both starts since coming back from a four month layoff. Favored last out in her first at this tag, Reddam home bred did not fire from close range. Think filly will rebound with a big race.
2nd pick: #4 (Just Bookin) (7-2) - Freshened up since April 17, filly is working locally and is dropping down to this $20K tag for the first time. She's been competitive in five straight facing a bit better and is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #9 (Let the Girl Go) (5-2) - Debuting home bred is bred for speed and is working sharply here for her debut. The presence of front-running specialist Marty Pedroza signals they like her chances.
4th pick: #2 (Lana Caprina) (20-1) - The probable favorite, filly has finished second in two straight at this tag at Santa Anita. An obvious contender, but think she's beatable at a very short price.
