Top pick: #5 (GLINDA THE GOOD) - In what looks like a two-horse-race on paper, this filly gets an edge over her main rival due to an impressive win over this surface in a $50K stakes here going a mile on Feb 26th. Race was her first in 3 months and by far her best to date. Daughter of "Hard Spun" has worked well at Santa Anita since her win and trainer Steve Asmussen has her razor sharp for this.
2nd pick: #3 (Princess Arabella) - The probable favorite is undefeated ( 2 for 2) and has won both starst at Santa Anita with ease. From the first crop of "Any Given Saturday", she's in the Baffert barn, and will be racing in a stakes and around two-turns, both for the first time. Jockey Marty Garcia is in for the day and this filly is working very fast at Santa Anita for this attempt.
3rd pick: #7 (Regal Betty) - No speed type was a come from behind winner at Turf Paradise in the Arizona Oaks on Feb 25th in her first start in 3 months. Working well since, she'll need some pace help up front for any shot at the win.
