Top pick: #5 (LISETTE) - Runs first off a claim and her new trainer John Rigattieri brings her back 33 days later at the claimed price ($7500). Very consistent and mare has a flexible style and draws outside of the speed. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Come On Donna) - Dangerous runner from the barn of the high octane "Jamie Ness" and he'll be stretching her out around two-turns for the first time. If you take away her two starts on the Presque Isle "poly", her dirt record is (7-3-2-0). Win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Grand Gracie) - Fits the conditions nicely as she has five lifetime wins, which are more than nay other entered. Deep closer is 4-for-7 this year and is (6-1-2-0) on this surface in her career. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
