Top pick: #1 (LAKE MARACAIBO) - The probable favorite, she was bet down to favoritism in her debut and closed strongly to just miss. Working fine since, trainer Bill Spawr has given her 7 weeks to recover and will add blinkers this afternoon.
2nd pick: #3 (Swingaway) - She's run well in both starts and each has been here at this tricky 6.5 furlong distance going "down the hill". In her debut she finished 3rd, a bit over a length back of "Maracaibo", then finished 2nd last out while very wide down the stretch. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Magic Fire) - One of a pair entered by trainer Mike Puype and the two fillies will race as separate betting interests. Longshot tries the grass for the first time and also is making back to back starts. "Live" price play.
