Top pick: #5 (MANGITA) (2-1) - Bruce Headley home-bred has been sharp in all her starts 5-2-3-0 and last out missed by a "nose" here at this distance facing entry-level allowance fellow Cal-breds. She also ran second in her previous pair at this level and speed/stalker is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Chilada) (4-1) - She comes off a career best when she missed by a 1/2 length facing "open" high-end starter-allowance foes at this trio on Feb. 20. Stalker is working nicely, draws the rail, and is back in with fellow Cal.-breds today.

3rd pick: #2 (Magic Spot) (2-1) - Speedy filly went gate-to-wire here at this distance on Feb. 7 to break her maiden. It was her first off a two month freshening, first on the grass, and Bejarano stays aboard.

4th pick: #4 (Irene's Jackpot) (15-1) - Longshot ships down from Golden Gate Fields and has a fine overall turf record 12-2-2-5. Can grab a small share at a big price.
