Top pick: #3 (MAYIE) (5-2) - Home-bred daughter of "Swiss Yodeler" has been competitive in both starts and rallied to finish second racing here at this tag & trip on May 3. She's worked twice since and can take this with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #12 (Screamin Earlienne) (6-1) - Grey filly tired after setting/pressing a fast pace when debuting here for twice this price March 29. Drops, is working nicely, and trainer Tim Yakteen has won with four of 12 second time maidens over the past 17 months.

3rd pick: #9 (Roman Wild) (6-1) - She's been bet in both appearances, and today races first off a Bob Hess, Jr. claim. Daughter of "Roman Ruler" has had trouble at the break in both outings and is a major player with an alert getaway.

4th pick: #1 (Hollywood Producer) (5-1) - She showed good early speed when debuting on May 16 and tired in the final furlong to finish a distant third. She's worked fast since, draws the rail, and should be involved from start-to-finish.

5th pick: #5 (Artie's Fantasy) (15-1) - Debuting filly has some good works on view at Los Alamitos and is in a capable small barn (Paul Aguirre). Trainer has his favorite jock (Iggy Puglisi) aboard, and they've won at a 19% clip when teamed-up over the past 17 months.
