Top pick: #1 (ROSE BLOSSOM) (2-1) - The probable favorite, grey filly has been competitive in six of her seven starts and enters this off a pair of back-to-back second-place finishes here at this level and distance. She has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Citizen Sassy) (6-1) - Improving filly had tough inside posts in large fields in her first pair, then ran third here last out when dropped down into a claimer. Fits and home-bred is from a very good barn (Cindy Huber).
3rd pick: #7 (Libertane Bluff) (20-1) - Longshot didn't seem to care for the sloppy conditions last out and also had a tough post and some early traffic issues. Home-bred han finished a fine third in her previous start and can factor with a repeat of that effort.
4th pick: #12 (She Looks Classic) (15-1) - Another who had a poor outing on a sloppy surfce recently and also had a difficult outside post. She has some talent and will be a big price today.
5th pick: #8 (Orient's Joy) (30-1) - Lightly-raced filly runs second back from a long layoff and does so off a positive trainer change to Joe Davia (26% with new arrivals). May grab a share at a very big price.
