Top pick: #4 (FREE FROM SIN) - Filly finished a troubled second here eight days ago at this level and distance. Good barn (Mike Machowski) brings her back quickly and she can win this with a clean break.
2nd pick: #1 (Forty Paces) - Races off a seven week layoff and is working very fast locally for her return. Draws the best post and she's already proved that she has early speed. Dangerous runner, and I almost put her on top.
3rd pick: #2 (Katelyn N' Jenna) - First-time starter hails from one of the best barns in California (Mike Mitchell). Working fast and the presence of rider Martin Garcia is a big plus. Can factor if she breaks running.
