Top pick: #1 (MYNTZ CONNECTION) (2-1) - Her maiden win came on this surface when she debuted on Dec. 1 and daughter of "Candy Ride" has raced evenly in a pair at this level at Santa Anita, one each on dirt and grass. Freshened up since Feb. 15, trainer Ron Ellis worked her five times here during April for her return to the all weather footing.
2nd pick: #3 (Tribal Custom) (9-5) - Daughter of "Tribal Rule" is the probable favorite off her perfect 2-for-2 record on this surface. Speedy filly has been freshened up since tiring at this level at Golden Gate Fields March 17th and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Miss Robyn) (5-2) - Home-bred filly by "Speightstown" has run well in all four starts, three on dirt and the other on grass. Stalker drops to a new low, draws a fine post in this small field, and she should get a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
