Top pick: #5 (PEPPERDINE) - Filly by "Malibu Moon" is lightly raced and trainer Leigh Delacour will drop her into a claimer for the first time. 3yr.old makes only her 3rd start and will go dirt to the turf where she was competitive in her debut facing tougher. She meets a weak field and is spotted to win.
2nd pick: #10 (King Hall) - She made up some ground when going 7 panels on the dirt in her debut here three weeks ago and trainer Kate O'Connell will move her to the "weeds" and stretch her out in distance. Bred to do both and she can be a factor at a nice price.
3rd pick: #1 (Tempesta Di Jade) - She's finished 4th with late rallies in her first pair and tehey came on this surface two months apart. She'll be making back-to-back starts for the first time and should be finishing fast.
