Top pick: #6 (MADDOG MATTIE) (3-1) - Very speedy filly tired badly after running "rank" on the lead while setting suicidial fractions in a one-mile turf contest for Cal-bred special weights. Trainer Mark Glatt has worked her three time locally for this attempt and he'll drop her into a claimer and switch her from grass to "poly."
2nd pick: #3 (Goodtobewild) (5-2) - She's finished second in both starts, each at this tag on the Santa Anita dirt. Trainer Mike Puype has worked her twice since and this 4-year-old is a major player if she handles the "all weather" surface.
3rd pick: #9 (Only Josie Knows) (4-1) - Filly runs for the first time since last sep when she finished third at Fairplex facing tougher. 3-year-old had finished second at Del Mar in her previous effort and she has a new trainer for her return (Julio Canani 24% with new arrivals). In the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #12 (Speedy Vixen) (6-1) - She's finished second in three of her last four starts when racing at this tag and one-run type draws a nice outside post for her style. The faster the pace, the better her prospects.
