Top pick: #8 (PROPER ROMAS) - She's finished 2nd in two of her last three appearances, including last out here at this tag and trip April 25th. In that contest she defeated a pair of today's contenders and with a "clean" trip she can finish the job off this afternoon.
2nd pick: #3 (Eskarita) - Home-bred is showing some improvement and has raced evenly in her last pair racing at the Fair Grounds. Draws a nice post and she's comes from a good barn (Sam Breaux).
3rd pick: #2 (Short 'n Curly) - Lightly raced filly ran evenly here April 25th and was less than a length back of "Romas" at the finish. She has more early speed than most and a nice inside post. That combination should have her in this from gate to wire.
