Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (BAS) (9-5) - She hasn't seen action since a troubled trip here in late Oct facing tougher. Daughter of "Flower Alley" is training nicely for her return and trainer Doug O'Neill will drop her into a claimer and remove her blinkers. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Julio's Gold) (3-1) - Home-bred tired last out racing for a $50K tag after being much sharper in her first two appearances. Trainer Dan Hendricks has worked him three tims for this and drops him into a career soft spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Firendesire) (5-2) - She comes off a career best when she chased, bid, and stayed on gamely to finish 2nd racing at this tag going 7 furlongs on March 15. A repeat of that effort puts her in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Going Back to Cali) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly chased and levelled off to finish 3rd here at this tag on March 23rd in a slowly run race. She runs 2nd back off a 70 day break, draws the rail, and should be involved turning for home.
