Top pick: #3 (ALWAYS A PRINCESS) - She's really improved of late and the patience that the Baffert barn has shown with her is paying off. She has the best early speed of these and handled Blind Luck with ease last out. Working very fast for this and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Blind Luck) - Hard-hitter was a bit "rank" last out when she finished 2nd as the heavy favorite in the El Encino S.(G2) to Always a Princess. Race was her first in 70 days and first on the new surface here. She's had a trio of solid drills since and expect her to give the top pick a much tougher battle today.
