Top pick: #8 (ORIGINAL KITTEN) (6-1) - Consistent performer cuts back a bit in distance after finishing a close up fourth here when facing slightly weaker on May 17th. Stalker was sent early that day and got involved in a pace-fight that cost her late. Draws a nice post for this 7-furlong trip and the pace scenario should be fast/and or contested.

2nd pick: #5 (Strategic Missile) (4-1) - Veteran mare just missed here at tis level and distance on May 24th. It was her third back from a six month layoff and is brought back in just under a month by owner/trainer Kate Feron. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (House On Toilsome) (5-1) - The field's strongest finisher, she has a fine year going 7-1-3-3, and will be cutting back in distance for this attempt. In a fine small barn (Pat Reynolds), and this mare by "Lion Heart" will be finishing fast.

4th pick: #10 (Spun Silky) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, filly ships in from Monmouth where she finished a pace-chasing second in a small stakes that was switched to the main track. Dangerous if she clear off without any struggle.
