Top pick: #4 (SUNSET STRIP) (2-1) - Daughter of "Hard Spun" is working very fast for the Baffert barn in her first since debuting at Del Mar last August. She finished fourth that day in what was a "key" race, and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Alexis Tangier) (3-1) - Lasix is added to filly who ran second when debuting here at this level and trip on April 20. Home-bred daughter of "Tiznow" can factor with a repeat of her initial appearance.

3rd pick: #8 (Fashioned Lady) (6-1) - One of five making their debuts, she has some fast local drills on view, and trainer Tom Proctor wins at an 18% rate first out.

4th pick: #11 (Brilliant Audrey) (5-1) - Filly by "Tale of the Cat" has been working bullets over at Los Alamitos and has a good speed rider in Edwin Maldonado aboard for her first outing.

5th pick: #3 (Margie's Minute) (12-1) - Another that's debuting, she's also been working fast at Los Alamitos. It's noted that Nakatani is aboard for a low percentage barn.
