2nd pick: #2 (Shocking Fast) (2-1) - Home bred is the 2nd of the Baffert fillies and is making her debut. Training steadily, daughter of 'Distorted Humor' looks set for a big effort for a tremendous first out barn 36-of-75 (48%).
3rd pick: #10 (Cherished) (6-1) - Even-paced type has finished fourth in her last pair at Santa Anita, one each on dirt and turf. Her outside post is a negative, but she's capable of factoring if the pace is fast/and or contested.
