Top pick: #5 (TRIBAL MISTRESS) - Filly finished second in her first two local appearances after coming here from Santa Anita but disappointed last out when she pressed the pace and ran 4th as the favorite. Three-year-old has a speed/stalking style and wins this with her best.
2nd pick: #7 (Hannieskay) - Daughter of "Johannesburg" races third off a 7 month layoff and trainer Kelly Von Hemel will drop her into a claimer for the first time. She's been competitive in her previous pair facing much tougher and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Brand J C) - Lasix is added today by trainer Jesse Compton to a filly that has displayed sharp early speed in both outings. The rail is hers for the taking and daughter of "Roman Ruler" should be in this from gate to wire.
