Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (SILVER UNION) (9-5) - The probable favorite, she has the best form of those that have raced and also has the most early speed. Daughter of "Dixie Union" takes a sizable drop in class and has blinkers added. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Vision of Mine) (3-1) - Churchill invader has shown some speed before tiring in both starts there facing tougher. That pair had winners that repeated next out, and trainer Dallas Stewart will drop her into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Bird Rockette) (4-1) - Daughter of "Birdstone" comes off a trouble trip at Belmont going a mile facing tougher on June 18. Filly had finished close up in her previous start and has since come back with a fine local work. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #4 (Acrostic) (10-1) - Home bred by "Alphabet Soup" will be making her first start on the dirt and racing third off a very long layoff. Owner/trainer Roy Lerman adds blinkers and will be cutting her back in distance. Don't just ignore at a big price.
