Top pick: #5 (DRAW IT) - Improving daughter of "Tapit" ran a career best figure last out at Belmont when she ran second to today's rival "R Gypsy Gold" in a small stakes. Strong finisher is peaking for trainer Tom Albertrani and is the top choice in a very contentious contest.

2nd pick: #2 (R Gypsy Gold) - She's one of two entered here by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair will race as separate interests. Fast and competitive, she's the speed nearest the rail and in these 9-furlong races on this surface, that's a nice place to be.

3rd pick: #7 (Awesome Feather) - Undefeated filly was an easy winner over four over-matched rivals last out at Belmont in her first race in 11 months. Last year's 2-year-old filly champ was using that 7-furlong stakes as a "prep" for this and it sets her up nicely for this. Obvious win candidate, and the probable favorite.
