Top pick: #7 (EMYVALE COURT) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she's finished second in all three starts, each coming here at this level and distance. One-run type has not lost by more than a length and home bred has veteran Gary Stevens aboard for the first time. The top pick, but make sure you reverse your exactas for a small amount.
2nd pick: #10 (Elementar) (4-1) - Filly by 'More Than Ready' cost $280K and will be racing for the first time since tiring in a $100K stakes here Oct 5. She had finished second against maidens in her previous start at Del Mar and has some impressive works showing for her return.
3rd pick: #4 (Sweeter Thancandy) (8-1) - Longshot returns from a six month layoff and has been working very fast for her comebacker. Beaten less than 2-lengths in both turf starts, she's a win threat at a big price.
4th pick: #11 (Katy Drama) (6-1) - She's moving up in class after a pair of close up third-place finishes here at this trip racing for a $75K tag. Filly has early speed and experience on this tricky down the hill course.
5th pick: #9 (Explicable) (6-1) - The field's only 4-year-old so she doesn't have as much room for upside as her younger rivals. Daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' was competitive in her first two sprints, but ran poorly here March 21st. Freshened up since, she's working above average and is trying the grass for the first time.
