Top pick: #2 (NARC) (9-2) - She's one of two entered by trainer Eric Kruljac, and the pair race uncoupled. Daughter of the highly successful "Smoke Glacken" is cutting back in distance off a rallying third place finish going a mile March 30. 4yo ran second at this distance on Feb. 24th, and a repeat of that effort takes this.
2nd pick: #5 (Jessie Was Mine) (7-2) - Cal-bred rallied from far back to finish third at this tag & trip March 29. It was her first since Nov. 11th, and she was bumped heavily at the break in that return outing. Dangerous from "off the pace."
3rd pick: #9 (Saloon Sweetheart) (8-1) - The second of the Kruljac pair, she tired badly after showing some early speed when debuting here facing tougher April 5. Barn brings her back in nine days and drops her way down in price.
4th pick: #4 (Two Spins) (5-1) - She comes off a career best when Cal-bred rallied to finish second here at this level March 29. She's stringing starts together, and trainer Ron Chappell adds blinkers.
