Top pick: #7 (LORD KITRA) (6-1) - Price play has had difficult trips racing between horses in her last pair and was still competitive in each. Stalker is brought back in 19 days by trainer Janet Armstrong and it's nice to see Talamo stay aboard.
2nd pick: #9 (Christmas Secret) (6-1) - Another who'll be a square price, filly stretches out and drops into a claimer, both for the first time. Trainer Dan Hendricks has worked her twice since she raced evenly on March 23rd and she'll be going third off a 100 day vacation.
3rd pick: #3 (Princess of Pearl) (3-1) - The probable favorite, she missed by less than a length last out facing special weights at this distance on March 31st. Filly drops into a high-priced claimer and she's brought back in 19 days for this attempt.
4th pick: #5 (Mille Luna) (5-2) - Nice effort here on March 31st saw her rally to finish third facing tougher going "down the hill." Race was her first sice shipping to California and first for trainer Mark Glatt.In the mix.
