Top pick: #7 (LILY'S TIZ) - Home-bred has improved in every start since returning from a 7 month layoff in late February. 4yo by "Tizbud" has finished 2nd in two straight at this price racing on the Santa Anita dirt and comes off a career best from a "figure" standpoint on April 13th. Can take this if she brings her dirt form to this surface.
2nd pick: #8 (My Mariska) - She showed excellent early speed when debutin at Santa Anita racing for a $50K tag on April 6th. Drops today, has a bullet work on the 18th, and noted speed rider (Pat Valenzuela)is aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Secret Genius) - Improving home-bred has some late kick and comes into this off a pair of 2nd place finishes at Santa Anita. The pace here should be on the "quick" side and this filly will be closing fast.
