Top pick: #1 (QUEENIE MARINI) - Grey filly finished fourth after a slow start last out at Santa Anita racing for $40K in her first back off a 70 day vacation. The Baffert barn drops her to a new low in price, stalker draws the rail, and this is her favorite surface (5-2-1-1). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Lily Amore) - Another who prefers this surface (5-1-2-1) and she raced evenly last out at this $20K price on the Santa Anita dirt. Daughter of "In Excess" likes this particular trip (2-1-0-1) and she draws a nice outside post in this small field.
3rd pick: #4 (Memo to Kathy) - There's not a lot of speed signed on here and this lightly-raced filly by "Grey Memo" may be alone on the front-end. Her best effort ever came on this surface in her maiden win a bit over a year ago and if ready off a 10 month layoff she can be a big factor today.
