Top pick: #2 (BELLARELLA) - Well-bred filly has had some problems in both her starts. Last out finished fourth here at this level going 6 furlongs. Veteran trainer Phil Serpe brings her back quickly for this and will race her with blinkers on for the first the time. The field isn't that strong and she can win this with a clean trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Bid a Moon) - Daughter of "Malibu Moon" has been competitive in three of her four starts and has been freshened up since a poor effort at Keeneland Apr. 20th. Working fast at Saratoga on the training track for her return, she draws a nice outside post at this trip and stalker is a win candidate from just off the pace.
