Top pick: #7 (SCAT PADDY) (2-1) - $220K daughter of "Scat Daddy" showed good early speed after a slow break and tired when debuting here in a contest at this level on the grass. Trainer Tim Yakteen drops her into a claimer, switches her to the dirt, and had her work a bullet 3 furlongs from the gate on March 1st.

2nd pick: #3 (Cherry On the Cake) (5-2) - Heavily bet in her debut, filly tired to finish 4th of 11, beaten just over 4 lengths racing here at this tag on Jan. 11. Claimed that day by Jerry Hollendorfer, he's worked her a half-dozen times since Jan. 29 and brings her back at the purchase price and with Bejarano aboard.

3rd pick: #6 (Fabulous Fashion) (7-2) - Filly runs third off a 10 month layoff, goes turf-to-dirt, and trainer Carla gaines will drop her into a claimer for the first time. Working nicely and is in the three-horse win mix.

4th pick: #4 (My Coastie) (4-1) - Debuting daughter of the speedy "Trippi" has a fine half-mile work from the gate on Feb. 25 that indicates she has some talent. However, this field drew "deep" for the level and she'll need to be a runner for any shot at the win end.
