Top pick: #10 (CITIZENSHIP) (3-1) - She showed some promise back in 2012, but went in for a 20 month layoff at that time and tired in her return at Los Alamitos after setting a pressured pace. Trainer Bob Baffert (31% second off long absences) drops her into a claimer for the first time and brings her back in three weeks.
2nd pick: #2 (Sweet Sense) (9-2) - Dangerous filly hasn't run since Dec. of 2012. Daughter of "Street Sense" has plenty of early speed, is working fast for her return, and trainer Mike Puype drops her into a claimer. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Kristinite) (5-1) - Grey filly has some ability and will be going turf to "poly" and shortening up in distance. Back in shape following an 11 month layoff and she must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #8 (Cravin the Heat) (10-1) - The field's most experienced filly, she's going turf to "poly" and is also dropping in class. Abram's home bred fits on figures and can factor at a square price.
5th pick: #6 (Barb's Angel) (5-1) - One of three making their debuts, she's from a winning barn (Tom Proctor) and daughter of "Benchmark" has been in steady training since early May.
