Top pick: #5 (LAUNCH THE STORM) - Speed/stalker has raced well in all her starts including a second-place finish two back while facing males. Latest saw her press a very fast pace and tire slightly in the last 1/8th to finish a close-up third. Runs third off a layoff and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Southwest Sarah) - Price play draws the rail, has sharp early speed, and runs third off a year's layoff. Looks set for a big try.
