Top pick: #5 (SPRING ELUSION) - Veteran mare drops down to the local bottom for the first time after a solid pace-chasing second-place finish on this surface, at this distance, facing tougher June 3rd. Daughter of "Elusive Quality" races third off a short layoff and she's always liked this deep surface. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Crafty Gem) - Ships up from Philly Park after winning there at this tag going around two turns May 31st. Effort was her best in over a year and came in her second start off a Rudy Rodriguez claim. Repeat of that performance makes her a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Oh Mandie) - No match for "Crafty Gem" last out at Philly, but she did finish a solid second and that gave her two strong efforts in a row and she seems to be nearing her best after switching barns in early Feb. at Gulfstream Park.
