Top pick: #2 (DOUGHNUT) - English-bred filly has raced well on both continents and will return today off a 2 1/2 month layoff. Likes to race just off the pace and a "clean" trip can win this.
2nd pick: #4 (Mysterious Marissa) - Consistent runner is three for five on the turf and had a valid excuse last out when she was away slowly. Flexible style is a plus and she's in a barn (Steve Sherman) that wins a lot of races.
3rd pick: #8 (There Goes Gee Gee) - Speed/stalker takes on tougher today after winning her turf debut against weaker foes over at Hollywood. Improving and a legitimate threat.
