Top pick: #5 (MATCHLESS ORINDA) - Very fast early on and her trainer (Marty Wolfson) announced the other day that she'll be put right on the lead. She's raced well on wet tracks without winning (3-0-2-1) and looks like she'll be tough to catch this afternoon.
2nd pick: #3 (Tar Heel Mom) - Hard-hitter rarely runs a poor race and she's the other entrant who has won on this surface (3-2-1-0) and mare is particularly fond of this 7-furlong distance (7-2-3-0). Working well and Dominguez climbs aboard.
