Top pick: #6 (STELLAR WIND) (2-1) - She's lightly raced and looked sharp when winning the local Santa Ysabel Stakes (G3) at this distance Feb 28. It was her first in 70-days, first on the west coast, and first for trainer John Sadler. Training fast and the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Glory) (6-1) - Speedy filly is one of two entered by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. She was 4 1/2 back of 'Stellar Wind' last out, but had a wide trip from an outside post. Working fast and she breaks just off the rail. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Light the City) (3-1) - The second of the Hollendorfer pair, she finished almost 3-lengths back of 'Stellar Wind' last out while 1 1/2 clear of 'Glory.' Consistent, has the rail, and should factor again.

4th pick: #5 (Luminance) (5-2) - Strong finisher from the Baffert barn is 2-for-2 and is working fast for this attempt. $320K purchase moves way up in class but her first pair have been impressive.
