Top pick: #9 (JACKIE SLEW) (6-1) - Lightly-raced filly chased a solid pace and held gamely to finish second here at this level April 10. Home bred has caught sloppy surfaces in both starts and may improve enough on a fast track to cause a mild upset.
2nd pick: #6 (Classy Yankee) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's been competitive in all three dirt sprints facing tougher. She chased and held to run third here April 22 and her connections will drop her into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (La Reina Isabel) (6-1) - One of two making their debuts, she's from a capable barn (Sam Btreaux). Home bred had a bullet 5-furlong local breeze April 11 and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Irish Salute) (3-1) - Speedy sort has been freshened up since late winter when she finished second in back-to-back starts at Delta Downs. Barn drops her to a new low and she should be involved most of the way.
