Top pick: #7 (EPONA MAGICA) (5-2) - She had no chance last out when she was "unprepared" for the start and race is best viewed as a "toss." Filly had finished second in five of her previous eight races and gets a rider change for this assignment.
2nd pick: #8 (Valentini Bandini) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, she's been competitiive in her last pair and has a bit of early speed and a fine outside post to use it from.
3rd pick: #1 (Entry (#1 Mis Guided Missile & 1a My Melody My S) - This is a Phil Hartman trained entry and he has jockey Anne Von Rosen listed on both halves. "Missile" rallied to run second last out at this level and "Melody" will drop in price and have lasix added after "acting up" in her latest.
4th pick: #4 (Isaiddon'ttouchme) (9-2) - Debuting Cal.-bred by "Benchmark" is in a capable barn (Kent Jensen)and she has some solid works on view. 3-year-old meets a weak field and is a major threat if she has any ability.
