Top pick: #5 (QUEENSBRIDGE) - Daughter of the top sire "Gone West" stalked, bid and weakened to run third in her debut here on March 26. The Hollendorfer barn brings her back quickly and trainer wins at a 28% rate second time out and at 32% when giving a "leg up" to Russell Baze. The top pick, she's one of two entered by Hollendorfer and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #2 (Whispering Express) - The second of the Hollendorfer duo comes here from the Fair Grounds where this Louisiana-bred has finished second in three straight on real dirt. Working fine since arriving here and her new trainer wins at a 29% clip with new arrivals to his barn.
3rd pick: #6 (Masked Martini) - She improved last out when dropped into a high-priced claimer and trainer Steve Specht will move him up in class today. Threat from off the pace.
