Top pick: #8 (WILD CAT LORE) - She didn't break sharply last out and ran evenly in that special weight contest. Daughter of "Minister's Wild Cat" had shown excellent speed in her previous pair and trainer Steve Knapp will drop her into a claimer for the first time. Filly can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #6 (Go Sophia) - Speedy sort has finished third in her last two starts and they've both come since trainer Caesar Dominguez dropped her into maiden claimers. Home-bred by "Harlan's Holiday" retains Gomez and races this afternoon with blinkers off. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Tribal Mistress) - Heavily bet in her debut facing special weights filly stalked but tired when asked to make a bid turning for home. Trainer Mike Puype will drop her into a claimer and remove her blinkers for this attempt. Working fast and a win candidate.
