Top pick: #2 (SUNNY DESERT) - She's become something special since being claimed by veteran John Parisella in early Dec. of 2011 for $35,000. Filly is (6-4-2) since that time and has reeled off four in a row including a pair of stakes at Belmont. Speed/stalker is (2-1-1-0) on this surface and faces a very weak field. It would be a huge surprise if she lost this.
2nd pick: #5 (Lady on the Run) - Veteran is one of two entered by trainer John Morrison and the pair race uncoupled. Very consistent performer (17-5-6-3) has been nicely managed her entire career and she was a come from behind winner of this stakes a year ago. The main danger.
