Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (SCHIAPARELLI) - Grey filly by "Ghostzapper" hasn't raced since an impressive win when debuting at Hollywood Park last June going 6 furlongs on the turf. 4-year-old home-bred is working very fast for her return, including a bullet 5-furlong breeze on the grass here six days ago. Takes this if ready.

2nd pick: #4 (Deity) - Speedy English-bred import has set the pace and finished second in both starts at this level and distance since returning from a 4 1/2 month layoff in early March. Nicely-bred, she's the main speed and is dangerous if left unattended early.

3rd pick: #7 (Mrs. Rosa) - Daughter of "Mr. Greeley" chased Deity last out until the last 1/16th when she weakened a bit to finish third, just over a length back of that rival. Only her second start since coming back from an 11 month break and a danger with any improvement.
