Top pick: #5 (CAT ON THE ISLAND) - Filly drops in half for her 2nd off a 7 week break and the high percentage barn of Chris Englehart has Dominguez aboard for the first time. Looks set for a big effort and the trainer/rider team is a strong one, winning at a 33% clip over the past 18 months.
2nd pick: #2 (Flavor Girl) - The fields most experienced filly has good early speed and lost all chance at the start last out when she "bobbled". Drops to a new low, is near the rail, and she's been competitive on "off" tracks several times.
3rd pick: #1 (Instant Flash) - Debuting grey filly is working steadily, has the rail, and her trainer (Bob Ribaudo) is having a fine meet (8-2-1-2) from his small barn.
