Top pick: #2 (BLUE GRASS MUSIC) - Filly had a useful debut here on Feb. 11 at this level and distance and trainer Tom Proctor has worked her three times since. Barn wins at an 18% rate second time out and Gomez stays put. The top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Lyrical) - Daughter of "Empire Maker" showed nothing in her debut in Dec. but runs today off of some solid works and a positive trainer switch to Julio Canani. Barn moves her to the grass and Canani has her headed in the right direction.
3rd pick: #3 (Candy's Girl) - English-import was heavily bet in all four of her starts over-seas and is working well for her first race since Oct. 16. The presence of Pat Valenzuela is always a plus.
