Top pick: #2 (CORINTHIAN MELODY) (3-1) - Mare has been freshened up since March 22nd when she finished third of 12, beaten three lengths racing here at this tag going 7-furlongs. Claimed that day by Ken Nettles, he brings her back seven weeks later at the purchase price and stretches her out in distanvce.
2nd pick: #3 (Silk in Silver) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, she was an impressive gate-to-wire maiden winner here at this distance March 20th. Lightly-raced 4-year-old tired last out facing much tougher and takes a big drop this afternoon. Bejarano stays aboard and I could have easily made this daughter of "Silver Train" the top pick at a short price.
3rd pick: #4 (Kid Rollins) (4-1) - Another that's lightly raced, she finished a distant second two back to "Silk in Silver," then broke her maiden in her latest. She's worked twice since, has room for improvement, and is a stretch threat.
4th pick: #5 (Warren's Assassin) (6-1) - Warren home-bred stretches out in distance after a close-up finish here at this level going 6-furlongs on April 12th. Mare has some back class and can factor today at a square price.
