Top pick: #1 (UNWRITTEN LAW) (5-2) - Steady performer is racing third back from almost a year's layoff. Speed/stalker finished a pace-chasing second last out here in a $35K stakes for fellow Arizona breds. Has the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Memo From Pat) (2-1) - Very consistent grey filly switches from turf to dirt and is shortening up in distance. She's finished second in three straight at this level on the local grass and is a strong win candidate from close range.
3rd pick: #2 (Clever Expansion) (5-2) - Lightly-raced Calif.-bred has been on the sidelines since late Nov. All of her success has come on either turf or 'poly'. Four-year-old runs off a trainer Change to Bob Diodoro (25% with new arrivals) and has been working at Santa Anita. Must be left in the mix.
