Top pick: #4 (SIBERIAN HEART) - Mare has a fine overall record and comes into this off a win on the turf racing foe $40K. She's finished close-up in both dirt starts on this course this winter and has an extremely fast work for this 6 days ago. Has an experience edge on these and this field isn't that strong for the level. Daughter of "Siberian Summer" can win this with a late move.
2nd pick: #7 (Serene Sophia) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Giant's Causeway" is one of two entered by the Baffert barn and they'll race uncoupled. She has good positional speed and will stretch-out on conventional dirt for the first time. Working fast and a major player in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Toro Bonito) - The second of the Baffert pair doesn't have any speed and hasn't been competitive since last June. Freshened-up for the past two months, she's working fast at Hollywood and you'll get the Baffert/Garcia combo at a big price.
4th pick: #10 (Summer Games) - Lightly raced and speedy she'll be sent hard from this outside post and this race doesn't have much pace on paper. Runs third off a long layoff and last out showed major improvement. Big player if she clears off.
