Top pick: #10 (WARRENSPOWEROFLOVE) (3-1) - Warren home-bred rallied here to niss by less than a length when facing fellow Cal.-breds for a $50K tag Feb. 17. She travels an extra furlong, drops down to face $30K "open" company, and draws a nice outside post.
2nd pick: #5 (Violate) (7-2) - Dangerous foe, she has early speed and is racing second off a 3 1/2 month layoff. Daughter of "Broken Vow" raced evenly when finishing third here at this tag in her return effort Feb. 16 and is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (She's Flush) (3-1) - Long-time maiden has done some fine work on this surface (5-0-2-2) and finished third here when running at this tag in late Dec. Even-paced type fits with this field and Bejarano is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #9 (Moonlight Stroll) (10-1) - She's cutting back in distance and racing without blinkers for the first time. Filly has regressed in her last pair after finishing second in her debut and needs to turn it around in this spot.
5th pick: #7 (Elda) (20-1) - Longshot is lightly raced, showed some speed last out, and has a sharp 5-furlong breeze on Feb. 23. Nice to see Talamo stay interested and filly may grab a share at a big price.
