DEL MAR Race #3

Premium Pick

Top pick: #1a (SCREEN GEM) - She hasn't raced since last fall when she was competitive in a series of three grass races to begin her career. Working superbly and she has a new trainer (John Shirreff's). Part on an entry and the trainer's main rider (Mike Smith) winds up here. The top pick in a strong entry.

2nd pick: #1 (Box Office Queen) - Coupled with the top pick she's finished in the money in all four of her turf starts with most of them being of the close-up variety. More than capable of winning this if her stable-mate is not up to the task.

3rd pick: #6 (Playa Bonita) - Price play was off slowly in her debut at Hollywood and raced evenly once away. On the shelf for the past six weeks she's sent long and moved to the turf by a capable barn (Patty Gallagher).
