Top pick: #7 (OUR PAL) - Heavily bet in all three appearance last year, daughter of "Rock Slide" showed fine early speed in each and finished second in two of those starts. They all came facing tougher and trainer Cindi Reese will drop her into a claimer off an 8 1/2 month layoff. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Wink's Wish) - Filly showed a new dimension last out when she rallied from close range to finish second, racing at this tag and trip March 18th. She'd been sent hard in most of her other appearances and lost ground during the stretch run every time. Has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Miss Blue Nitro) - She's shown fine early speed in both starts and they came facing tougher. Home-bred will be making back to back starts for the first time and owner/breeder/trainer Sue Jenkings dropd her down in price. Dangerous.
