Top pick: #2 (MINT CITY) - Lightly-raced mare chased a fast pace and held well to finish second here at this price April 22nd. Race was her first locally and first off a 3 1/2 month layoff. Daughter of "Five Star Day" is brought back quickly, shortens up just a bit, and she's the speed nearest the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Saloon Dancer) - Lightly-raced, Arizona-bred has been competitive in her first pair and last out finished third at this tag facing state-breds. Filly is a factor from off the pace.
3rd pick: #9 (Rolling Wonder) - British-Columbia bred filly hasn't raced since Sept. 18, but is working fast off a positive trainer change to Matt Wendell. She hasn't shown much to date, but against this weak group can factor if reay.
