Top pick: #4 (CHINA GIRL LOVER) (6-5) - The probable favorite, Santa Anita shipper has finished close up there in three straight facing much tougher. Son of "Lawyer Rion" should find this group much easier and 4-year-old is the likely winner.

2nd pick: #1 (Citron Kid) (7-2) - From the high percentege barn of Mike Chambers, gelding missed by less than a length here at this level on Feb. 19 and a repeat of that effort makes him a win threat.

3rd pick: #8 (Runaway Cal) (3-1) - He's had a lot of chances on the turf 21-0-3-7, but has gone 6-0-1-4 on this course annd has a strong closing kick. The faster the pace, the better his chances.

4th pick: #3 (Burlister) (10-1) - Longshot from leading trainer Bob Diodoro hasn't shown much to date, but will be trying the grass and a two-turn distance, both for the first time. Bred for both and this grey gelding cost a whopping $470K back in 2010.
