Top pick: #1 (WESTERN SWEEP) - Claimed two back by Wayne Catalano, filly won in her first try for the new connections at Hawthorne. Closed into a slow pace that day in an impressive performance. Comes back at the same price and this barn can keep them sharp for a while. The choice for another win.
2nd pick: #3 (Thundering Jill) - Re-claim by the fine barn of Mike Maker. Filly has been a bit "dull" in her last pair, but won easily in the one and only start for this trainer earlier this year.
