Top pick: #7 (ISLAND FROLIC) (5-2) - Speedy filly ships from Golden Gate Fields where he set a fast pace and tired to finish almost three back of today's rival "Jesse's Giacomo." Race was his first in 3 1/2 months and he's run well on real dirt in the past.
2nd pick: #3 (Exclusive Story) (6-1) - She hasn't been the same horse that went (4-1-1-2) at Calder last year since she shipped to California late in 2012. Filly retains her early speed, drops, and had a sharp half-mile breeze on March 18th.
3rd pick: #6 (Jesse's Giacomo) (4-1) - As mentioned above, she rallied past "Frolic" to win at Golden Gate on March 7th and had been competitive in her previous pair on this surface. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Strange Luck) (6-1) - Price play has been competitive in two of her four starts and is working fast for her first since Feb. 7. Strong finisher draws the rail and should get a fast pace to rally into.
