Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (ROMAN CHIC) - Mare is in career best form and is a perfect 2-for-2 locally in her only races on real dirt. Last out she went wire-to-wire here at this price in her first off a Linda Minkus claim and has a fast 5-furlong work since. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Blue Tambourine) - Stretch-out sprinter also takes a big drop in price for trainer Pete Miller. This is her first ever going two-turns on the dirt and she's more than capable against these.

3rd pick: #3 (R Vacarious Girl) - Veteran mare has finished first or second in 26-of-43 lifetime starts, but has raced a bit dull in her first pair since relocating here last summer. Drops down for this, goes third off a 5 1/2 month layoff, and she's in the barn of Mike Mitchell. Don't ignore.
