Top pick: #6 (PINE GROVE) - Veteran mare finished second here last out at this level in her best start since last April and the best any of these ran last out. Barn wheels her back in two weeks for this, and a repeat effort wins it.
2nd pick: #8 (Crown Secret) - Mare ran a close-up third two back at this level, then raced very wide last out facing "open" $3K claimers. Trainer Chad Story drops her back in with fellow Arizona-breds this afternoon and add the "hood".
3rd pick: #7 (Reds Wildfire) - She's won two of her three starts and last out she cleared the 2l condition, racing at this price and distance. Home-bred is in a good barn and this stalker is a win candidate right back.
