Top pick: #7 (HALO DOLLY) - Very consistent filly(16-9-3-1) has been well-managed by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and enters this off an allowance win at Golden Gate Fields on April 6th, her first start since late January. That should set this professional speed/stalker up perfectly for this and the jockey with the most wins in North American history(Russell Baze) is in for the ride. The legendary rider/trainer combo is winning at a 31% clip over the past 18 months.
2nd pick: #2 (Going For a Spin) - Veteran was re-claimed by Mike Mitchell and he had to pay $7000 more than he lost her for. She was a stakes winner a year ago here on the 2011 "Gold Rush" day and is (8-2-2-1) overall on synthetic surfaces. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #8 (A Jealous Woman) - Hard-hitting mare(12-5-2-3) has had all of her success on the grass, but she did finish 2nd on this surface when debutin back in July of 2009. Speed/stalker draws a nice outside post for this trip and comes into this off a narrow loss facing "open" company in a Santa Anita stakes April 7th.
