Top pick: #5 (ESTRELLA VICTORIA) - Strong effort in her last at this tag and distance as she stayed close-up, bid on the far turn to reach contention, but tired a bit in the last 1/16th. That was her first in seven weeks and it's encouraging to see her return quickly for this (14 days). Can win this from just off the lead.
2nd pick: #1 (Rock'n With Mary) - Drops back into a claimer, and two back at Piladelphia Park filly just missed when running for $40,000. Contender at a bit of a price.
3rd pick: #4 (Bouzy) - Daughter of "Smart Strike" hasn't seen action in 16 months. Debuted at Gulfstream Park in April of '07 and has been on the sidelines since. Top barn (Chris Clement) can have them ready off the bench and this field is "ordinary" at best for the level.
4th pick: #6 (Mean Sally) - She's run competitively on the turf at this tag, but she's already had 18 tries without getting the job done. Needs to finish stronger.
