Top pick: #2 (WILD ORATION) (2-1) - Veteran mare was scratched out of yesterday's second race to await this spot. Stalking type has gone 4-2-2-0 since being claimed by Ramon Preciado for $8000 in late December. In shape, barn moves her back up a bit in class. Eight-year-old has finished second the last two times she ran at this claiming price.
2nd pick: #4 (Starship Girl) (5-2) - Once much classier type is racing first off a Cathal Lynch claim (a 33% winning angle). Strong finisher enters off a wide and even trip at this distance March 1st for a $16K tag. Freshened up since, Lynch drop her well under the purchase price in her first for the new barn. A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Valerie Victoria) (6-1) - She has a bit of speed and is racing first off a Mike Tombetta claim. Taken on March 14th for $7,500, grey filly finished second here that day going two-turns. She's worked well since and is shortening up in distance. At this point in time, the top two picks are much more likely to win this.
