Top pick: #4 (CALIFORNIA NECTAR) - Hard-hitter is two-for-two on this surface and has a flexible style. In-shape, working well, and Pat Valenzuela will give her every chance at beating the presumed heavy favorite. Has a shot at a big "upset."
2nd pick: #6 (Turbulent Success) - Undefeated and the probable heavy favorite. She won the G1 "Hollywood Starlet" last out and has been training fast for this. Stalker races on conventional dirt for the first time and she'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #5 (May Day Rose) - Lightly raced and speedy, she won a stakes here Jan. 9 in her first on real dirt. Working fast since, she's one of a pair from the barn of Bob Baffert and she should be in this from start-to-finish.
