Top pick: #2 (NITE DELIGHT) (3-1) - Filly raced evenly when debuting at this level and distance at Santa Anita May 23. A good first outing and she was 'bumped' at the 1/4 pole. Trainer Art Sherman has worked her three times since and this filly should be a big factor in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Lily Pod) (7-2) - One of four making their debuts, she's working fast at Santa Anita and runs for a hot barn (Rich Baltas). Bejarano is aboard and he wins at a 32% rate when teamed up with Baltas. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Ebony Princess) (12-1) - Longshot has racing experience and has showed good early speed at times. Working fast here, she's racing for the first time since Jan 19.
4th pick: #8 (California Curl) (15-1) - Another making her debut, daughter of 'Curlin' is working fast locally and may outrun her expected big odds.
5th pick: #1 (Alyeska) (6-1) - Well backed in her debut, she rallied to finish third following a slow break. Has the rail and it's essential that she gets out of the gate cleanly.
