Top pick: #1 (YONAKEE) - Classier mare is working both fast and frequently for her first start since Jan. 3 when she finished an even fourth here in a starter-allowance. Trainer Ron Werner drops her back into a claimer for the first time since last Nov. when she was a very easy winner at Hawthorne racing for $5K. Five-year-old has enough speed to stay within range and can win this if she's at a 100% off an 85 day layoff.
2nd pick: #5 (On The Level) - Filly has good early speed and will drop into a claimer for the first time since late Oct. when she finished second here at this price in her first off a Ramon Preciado claim. Barn drops her into a career soft spot and her early speed makes her a win candidate.
