2nd pick: #5 (Awesome Year) (2-1) - Santa Anita invader was claimed two back by Bob Diodoro for $12.5K and raced evenly there facing $16K foes in his first for the new barn. They ship him here, move him to the turf, and race his just under the purchase price.
3rd pick: #3 (I'mblendednotshaken) (4-1) - The main speed, he ships from Golden Gate after a solid there facing upper-level starter-allowance foes sprinting on Feb. 10. He's returned from a long layoff in shape and his early speed in this paceless race makes him a win threat.
4th pick: #2 (All Mighty Buck) (8-1) - He enters this off a career best when he was a winner on the main-track here facing weaker on Feb. 25. This will only be his 2nd ever on the grass and he ran evenly facing tougher in his only previous attempt on it.
