Top pick: #8 (CRYPTO KITTEN) - Home-bred daughter of "Kiten's Joy" ships here from Keeneland wher she didn't appear to care for the all weather main-track she ran on April 12th. She's finished second in five of her six grass starts and this past winter at the Fair Grounds was beaten narrowly facing tougher "open" special weights. The move back in with fellow New York-breds can lead her to the winner's circle.
2nd pick: #12 (Chrissy Girl) - Daughter of "Giant's Causeway" was bet down to favoritism when debuting at Gulfstream April 8th. She had a tough outside post in the two-turn grass contest and made up some late ground after a very wide trip. Faces fellow state-breds today and Dominguez is aloft. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Madame Johar) - She's finished third in all three appearances and they've all come at this level and distance racing on the grass. Runs off a 5-month layoff and she was only a 1/2 length back of "Kitten" when they met in early December.
4th pick: #4 (Miss Dragon Lady) - Her first race on the grass (at Aqueduct April 11th) was her first competitive effort and trainer Jim Bond replaces apprentice Camacho with Annie Napravnik. May grab a share with some improvement.
