Top pick: #11 (I'M NOT AFRAID) - She finished 2nd when debuting on the grass at Arlington and veteran trainer Dan Peitz will move her to a synthetic surface for start #2. She's working nicely since, twice at Arlington and the latest a fine move here a week ago. The top selection.
2nd pick: #9 (Tikkarita) - "Hall of fame" trainer Jonathan Sheppard sends out this debuting daughter of "Rimrod" and he has her working very fast for her initial outing. She had a "bullet" drill here from the gate just three days ago that signals her readiness. Win candidate.
