Top pick: #6 (ORIENT ROSE) - Very consistent filly has finished second in four of her six starts and is (3-0-2-1) since relocating here for So. California and returning from a 4 1/2 month layoff. Gets a slight edge in this competitive contest.
2nd pick: #8 (Severed Ties) - She's finished second in both outings, including a sharp effort on March 6th. Moves up in class off a Dave Bennett claim and she'll need to step it up a bit.
3rd pick: #3 (Constance Spice) - First-timer by the successful "Speightstown" is working steadily and above average for owner/trainer Shawn Davis. A bullet 5-furlong gate breeze on March 10th suggests her readiness.
