Top pick: #3 (ARTA B TAPPIN) - Filly has faced better fields than this and is dead-fit compared to most of her opponents. She chased the pace and tired last out in a state-bred stakes at Fairplex and in her previous start her saddle slipped while she was in front in a turf race at Del Mar. The horse to beat, and at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Strike Your Fancy) - Runs back today off a 4 1/2 month break and she should be bigger and more mature. Improving when last raced, she's in the O'Neill barn and working nicely locally. Espinoza takes over and she's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Don't Tell Me That) - Also trained by O'Neill this filly is training above average and all the works are local. Trainer wins at a 15% rate first out and at a 19% rate when teamed-up with Bejarano.
