Premium Pick
( # 6) USK POPPY - Makes third start of current form cycle, and ran a good pacesetting third at 9F last out on this green.Not a lot of pace signed on in here and the bullett 3F work on March 31st should have miss on her toes and ready for action on the top end. Barn reaches out to Brice Blanc for this try, as it appeared to me and possibly the trainer that miss was not given a great ride last out.

(# 1) Musical High - English miss acquitted herself just fine in series of turf events at Hollywood, Bay Meadows and a pair at Del Mar(including a stakes try),after which she went to the shelf until today. Works are so-so over the Polytrack at Hollywood, and I'm thinking she might not be ready yet to fire her best.

(#' 7) Trick a Cat - Recent form is just fine and overall numbers match up well with these fillies. She's 2 for 3 at this distance over this turf course. Hard to not consider her a contender in this event.

(# 's 8 and 5) Bien Dulce and Dynamatic - The wild card in here, beat colts at 60-1 in debut in Argentina. Winds up in the U.S. in Ron McAnally's barn, and is working very well and goes first time Lasix today. Stranger things have happened. Dynamatic has been consistent sort and is coming off slight freshening.

The Plays: $10 to win on #6.
$4 exacta boxes on 6-1 and 6-7.
$2 exacta boxes on 6-8 and 6-5.
Total Wager = $34.00.
