Top pick: #5 (MAHEE) (15-1) - Longshot has raced both wide and evenly in her first pair going 5.5-furlongs. $370K daughter of 'Unbridled's Song' is bred to love this longer trip and continues to train above average. Grey filly has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #9 (Conquest Curlgirl) (5-2) - Nice debut sprinting here April 19th saw her set/pressed a quick pace and hold gamely to finish second going 6-furlongs. Tainer Mark Casse (28% second time out) stretches her out in distance (20%). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Mambo Tale) (12-1) - Filly has shown sharp early speed before tiring in three local grass appearances. Trainer Mark Glatt has her training fast on the dirt and this filly may be competitive at a very big price.
4th pick: #6 (Danette) (4-1) - Filly has disappointed a number of times since finishing close up in a pair of important stakes last year. No-speed type moves back to the dirt and should get a fast and/or contested pave to close into.
5th pick: #2 (Sweet Promise) (7-2) - Kent Desormeaux elects to ride this lightly-raced filly after being aboard his brother Keith's filly #6 Danette 10 straight times. Nicely bred, she's produced figures in her first pair that fit well with this group.
