Top pick: #3 (MS GOLDEN GARDENS) - The field's only two time winner will drop down in price, shorten up in distance, and move back to the dirt after a strong effort going longer on the grass one week ago. Both of her wins have come in dirt sprints and she'll be very tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Cocolalla) - Filly was competitive last spring in her first two starts and after winning her debut againist colts she finished a strong third in a $95K Arizona-bred stakes here May 2 also facing males. Working well for her return and she'll be tough this afternoon if she's ready for her best off the long break.
3rd pick: #1 (Early Girl) - Runs off a positive trainer change to Jim Frey and this lightly raced speedy filly is working nicely, draws the rail, and is dropped into a claimer for the first time. Can contend with her best.
