Top pick: #8 (NATIVE EMPRESS) (3-1) - Cal bred has finished second in two of three start at this $3500 tag and 3l condition. Stalker is consistent for a horse at this level, and she won her only previous race on an 'off' surface if that's the case. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Reigning Rubies) (7-2) - She's dropping in class after a pair of even efforts facing tougher, one each on turf and dirt. Capable on the dirt, and it's nice to see Scott Stevens stay aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Enact) (6-1) - Filly raced evenly last out after breaking poorly. It was her first at this 3l condition after she was a winner here at this tag on Jan. 28th. Stalker can factor with a repeat of that effort.
4th pick: #4 (Two Barrel Tottie) (8-1) - Her 'figures' are on the 'light' side, but mare has been competitive in two straight at this level. Can grab a share at a big price.
