Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PARADISE WOODS) (6-5) - She was a very impressive winner here in the G1 Santa Anita Oaks at this distance April 8. Winless in two since, she had solid excuses in each. Daughter of 'Union Rags' is working fast and is the main speed in this small field. She can win this in gate-to-wire fashion.
2nd pick: #1 (Faithfully) (5-2) - The main danger, she's improved a lot since returning from almost a year's layoff April 17. Stalker has gone 4-1-2-1 since then and she won a minor stakes here at this distance June 4. $700K daughter of 'Smart Strike' is in the Baffert barn, draws a ground saving post, and has a fine local record 6-2-3-0.
3rd pick: #6 (Shenandoah Queen) (4-1) - She upset a small stakes at Del Mar at odds of 20-1 Aug. 25 and was almost a length in front of 'Faithfully' that afternoon. She got a big break when that filly did not break sharply but must be left in the same race wagers.
