Top pick: #6 (MARK OF A GEM) (7-2) - Grey filly has finished 4th in both well-bet appearances and trainer Tim Yakteen will move her to the grass for the first time. Bred for the surface and and 3yo can win this a "clean' trip.

2nd pick: #5 (Alissa G) (5-1) - Speedy filly cuts back in distance after setting a fast pace and tiring to finish 4th at this level going a mile here on the turf on Feb 3rd. Solid effort came first off a Doug O'Neill claim and she's a win candidate this afternoon.

3rd pick: #7 (Lucky Student) (6-1) - Unraced since June, she finished 2nd in two straight at that time including a 5 furlong turf sprint at Hollywood Park. Working well and trainer Eddie Truman adds blinkers.

4th pick: #10 (Mint Twist) (4-1) - She's broken poorly in both starts and will be trying the grass for the first time. Working fine, bred for the surface, and she's in the Sadler barn.

5th pick: #9 (Spoiledandentitled) (8-1) - Debuting daughter of "Afleet Alex" is working fast for trainer Julio Canani and meets a sub-par field for this level. Dangerous if ready.
