Top pick: #5 (ODE TO SAMI) - Hard-hitting filly has finished second in both local appearances and last out was beaten a neck racing here at this level going 7 furlongs. One-run type stretches out to a mile for the first time and I think it will agree with her.
2nd pick: #1 (E Z Passer) - She's part of a Chris Englehart trained entry and with Ramon Dominguez listed on both halves, only one will go. Consistent sort was only 1 1/2 lengths back of "Sami" last out and unlike that rival, she's a pro at this trip (9-2-4-2). Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Welcome Guest) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, she has a speed/stalking style and last out ran second here when facing a bit tougher. Daughter of "Unbridled's Song" has the rail and should be involved from start to finish, but she'll be a very short price.
