Top pick: #5 (DON'T BLAME HER) (2-1) - Lightly-raced filly takes on winners for the first time. Four-year-old daughter of 'Arch' went gate-to-wire at Aqueduct going 7-furlongs for a $25K tag April 2nd. It was her second start back from an 8 1/2 month layoff and she's conservatively spotted this afternoon. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Over My Head) (3-1) - She's been at this 2l condition a long time but enters having finished second in three of her last four tries at it. She's stretching out a furlong after a solid effort at Aqueduct April 9th.
3rd pick: #1 (Brandini) (8-1) - Mare is dropping into a career soft spot following a pair of poor efforts earlier this year on Aqueduct's inner surface. Stalker is working steadily and has run well at Belmont in the past without winning 5-0-3-0.
4th pick: #7 (Gingee) (8-1) - Plodder has finished third in four of her last six appearances and may grab another minor award with her usual effort.
