Top pick: #4 (MISS KELLER) - Proven Graded Stakes performer ran evenly at Keeneland April 16th in the Jenny Wiley S.(G2) in her first since a "troubled" trip in early Nov. at Churchill Downs in the Breeders' Cup Fillies and Mare Turf (G1). Working fast since shipping here and her local slate is (3-1-2-0). The top pick, she's one of two entered by trainer Roger Attfield, and they race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #9 (Never Retreat) - Wonderful race-mare hasn't run a bad race since Chris Block took over her training around this time last year. She's (10-5-2-1) since then and all but one of those have comes in grass stakes. Six-year-old by "Smart Strike" has good positional speed, a nice outside post, and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Mekong Melody) - The second of the Attfield pair is 4-for-5 on this surface and three of those have come in stakes. Working fast and frequently for her first start since Nov.13th when she won a G3 stakes at Belmont Park. Contends for the win if ready.
