Top pick: #4 (BLACK SOX) - She had a poor beginning when debuting here April 22nd facing tougher and basically just ran around the track. Trainer John Sadler (24% 2nd time out) drops her in price, adds the "hood," and switches to Valenzuela. She meets a weak field and it looks like graduation day.
2nd pick: #1 (R C Magic Amy) - Off "slowly" in her debut she rushed up into the pace before tiring badly. She drops a bit, draws the rail, and can factor with a clean start.
3rd pick: #3 (More Than Happy) - Debuting filly by "Lion Hear" is working above average and meets an overall weak crew. Trainer Hector Palma is doing well at this meet and this filly need not be much to factor today.
