Top pick: #5 (CAPERS N WINE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker makes her local debut after shipping here from Santa Anita. Cal-bred has finished second in three of her five starts, and has a new trainer (Dave Jacobson 26% with new arrivals). Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Magdalena Bay) (9-5) - The probable favorite, Darley home-bred has fine early speed, has gone 3-0-2-1 to date, and is a strong win candidate in this small gathering.
3rd pick: #6 (Wundahowigothere) (2-1) - Daughter of "Big Brown" also has early speed and is working fast for her first start since early Dec. Trainer J.P.Terranova II had a career season in 2013, and this 4yo is a major threat if ready off the 100 day break.
