Top pick: #6 (LADY BALLATORE) (6-1) - Very lightly raced 4yo rallied to finish 3rd here at this tag & trip Feb 11 in her first race since Nov 17 and first since being sent here from the So. California circuit. Owner/trainer Bill Mehok brings her back in under a month snd filly can take this with some improvement.
2nd pick: #2 (Naughtical ) (3-1) - English-bred has finished 2nd her in 4 of her 6 starts since relocating from the So. California circuit last fall. Speed/stalker fits, retaings Scott Stevens, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Attack Mode) (5-2) - Golden Gate invader hasn't run since April 12, and will be dropping down to a new low and racing on conventional dirt for the first time. Working about average and a threat if ready.
4th pick: #7 (One Clever Chick) (5-1) - Mare has gone (9-0-2-3) and last out finished 3rd here at this tag after breaking "slowly" and rushing up to contest the pace. Race was her first in 2 1/2 months and she can be in this every step at a square price.
