Top pick: #2 (NAE PROBLEM) - She's finished 2nd in both dirt starts, including last out here at this price and trip. Grey mare was farther back than usual that afternoon and made a strong middle-move but failed to reach the winner by less than a length. Trainer Joan scott is having an excellent meet (40-10-7-8) and this 5yo will be tough to defeat in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Royally Sweet) - Filly was a good looking maiden winner here at this trip two back, then tired at this level going 7 furlongs in her first facing winners. Has good early speed, draws the rail, and stretches back out.
3rd pick: #4 (Sparkles Gold Band) - Mare ran well here last winter and was sent to the sidelines last April by trainer Eric Reed. 5yo has raced evenly in a pair of local sprints since returning and will be sent around two-turns in this spot.
