Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (ROOM FOR ME) (3-1) - With the late scratch of #6 'La Verdad,' that leaves this mare as the main speed. She's gone 3-2-1-0 since coming from California and joining the barn of dave Jacobson. In shape and in career best form, she'll be tough to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Dame Dorothy) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she became a G1 winner when taking the rich Humana Distaff at Churchill on the Kentucky Derby undercard May 2. She's gone 8-6-1-1 overall and is a perfect 3-for-3 at this trip. An obvious win candidate and I could have just as easily made her the top pick.

3rd pick: #8 (Street Story) (7-2) - Strong finisher is a four-time sprint stakes winner and last out at Churchill she won the G3 Winning Colors May 25. She has a good outside post and enough early speed to stay within range entering the turn. Four-year-old would benefit greatly if the pace was fast and/or contested.
