Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (EVELYN'S DANCER) (6-5) - The probable favorite, her local record is outstanding (7-5-2-0) and all five of those wins have come in stakes. She was a winner here at this trip April 27 in her first back from 6 1/2 month layoff and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Overvalued) (3-1) - She chased "Evelyn" every step last out and continued on gamely to finish second, beaten just under two lengths in her first start since September 3. Her local slate stands at (15-5-4-4) and this veteran mare always comes with her best.

3rd pick: #4 (Heidi Maria) (8-1) - Mare rallied to finish fifth of seven, beaten by almost four lengths by "Evelyn" on April 27. She was compromised a bit by a sloppy surface that was favoring speed, and it was her first start in 6 1/2 months.

4th pick: #3 (Castinette Dancer) (9-2) - From the same barn as "Evelyn", she's gone (13-6-3-0) on this surface and does have some sharp early speed. Mare must be left in the mix.
