Top pick: #6 (NAZARETH) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she missed by a 1/2 length racing at this tag & trip April 20, and has now been competitive in all of her grass races. Claimed that day by Hector Palma, he brings her back in three weeks at the purchase price. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Kristinite) (6-1) - Grey filly hasn't seen action in 11 months when she raced evenly in a pair of sprints on the Hollywood "poly" to begin her career. Working very fast for her return, trainer Carla Gaines drops her down in class and moves her to the grass.
3rd pick: #2 (Ann's Gold) (15-1) - Longshot raced both evenly and extremely wide when finishing six back of "Nazareth" on April 20. She's worked since, draws an inside post, and blinkers are added by veteran Jack Carava.
4th pick: #8 (La Pequena Gigi) (7-2) - Filly by "Sky Mesa" has raced evenly in her last pair facing special weights. Trainer Mark Glatt drops her down and cuts her back from a mile to 6.5-furlongs. Must be left in the mix.
