Top pick: #6 (MY HONEY LAURIE) - Much improved since coming back from a layoff Nov. 19th, she's 7-2-3-1 since that time and last out finished second on this surface going 6.5 furlongs facing open $25K claimers. Race was her first back off a 4 month break and trainer Bruce Brown will stretch her out in distance for this attempt. Four-year-old likes this trip and has been competitive in all three starts on this often "tricky" main track.
2nd pick: #2 (Judicial Leader) - Veteran mare finished third at this level and distance May 5th and she's (3-1-1-1) in her last several starts on conventional dirt. Has more speed than most and has won on this surface in the past. Can be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Tizling) - Daughter of "Tiznow" went wire to wire on this surface, at this distance, to break her maiden facing state-bred special weights May 13th. Working well since, she's improved in each one of her starts, and her early speed makes her dangerous.
