Top pick: #1 (MEDICINE BUTTE) (3-1) - Filly has finished second in both starts and they came almost 4 1/2 months apart. Speedy sort set a pressured pace while between horses and held gamely to hold down the place spot on Feb. 5th. Home bred is making back-to-back starts for the first time, and her experience gives her a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (My Intention) (4-1) - Home bred is one of a half-dozen fillies making their debuts. She's working very fast for her first attempt, including a sharp half-mile gate breeze at Los Alamitos on Feb. 20th.
3rd pick: #6 (Autumn Twilight) (8-1) - Filly was bet heavily in her local debut on Feb. 5th. Away slowly that day, she ran evenly once in stride. She was six lengths back of 'Medicine Butte' that afternoon and returns with blinkers off and Bejarano back on the re-ride. Price play.
4th pick: #5 (Just Peachy) (12-1) - Another of the debuting sextet, filly has some sharp am drills at Los Alamitos. The best of those was a 5-furlong gate breeze on the morning of Feb. 17th. Can factor at a square price if ready.
