Top pick: #4 (PRETTYPRECIOUSHEIR) (5-2) - Speedy filly drops back down after a solid effort here for twice this price April 2nd. That was her first off a John Sadler claim and he's worked her twice since. Spotted to win and she's the main speed.
2nd pick: #1 (Divine Tale) (2-1) - Lightly-raced mare rallied to finish second here at this tag going 5-furlongs March 20th. Race was her first in 11-months, she's worked fast since, and the Drysdale barn stretches her out a furlong. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Euroclydon) (4-1) - Long time maiden ran evenly while finishing fourth in the same last race as 'Divine Tale.' Filly was 4 1/2 back of that rival at the finish in her first since early August.
4th pick: #9 (West Coast Storm) (6-1) - Freshened up since Feb 22, filly ran second that afternoon at Turf Paradise. One-run type has a new trainer (Janet Armstrong) and this 4-year-old can factor with her best.
5th pick: #7 (Mudge) (12-1) - Not a strong win threat, filly has 'nibbled' several times and can get another small award at a big price with a late rally.
