Top pick: #1 (STARDOM BOUND) - She looms a short-priced and a very deserving favorite in this edition of the Santa Anita Oaks. Returned last out to win the "Las Virgenes" stakes with her patented late charge, and doubt that she was more than 75% for that one. Lots of speed signed-up, and she gets to save all the ground. Try and hook her up in exactas or tris.
2nd pick: #3 (Miss Silver Brook) - Late running filly has shown ability in her sprints and is bred to prefer longer distances which she'll get to try this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Will O Way) - Has a lot more positional speed, and she's a double stakes winner. Filly has a big work on this surface on Feb.28th, suggesting that she's ready for a big effort today.
