Top pick: #8 (SPA DUCHESS) (6-1) - Price play has raced evenly in her first pair and had excuses in both. Home bred broke poorly in her debut, then had to race between horses in her latest. Trainer Jim Bond removes her blinkers and has hot riding apprentice cancel aboard.

2nd pick: #1 (Bella Joy) (3-1) - Speedy sort makes her way from Kentucky to face fellow New York breds for the first time. She enters off a pace-setting fourth-place finish at Churchill Downs May 23. Daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' is clearly improving and is a win candidate from her inside post.

3rd pick: #5 (Kitty Kat) (10-1) - Long shot enters off a pair of even efforts at this level. Daughter of 'Kitten's Joy' continues to work sharply and it's interesting that J.J. Castellano is aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #2 (Sister Superior) (2-1) - The probable favorite, daughter of 'Pulpit' rallied while wide to finish second here when debuting at this level May 17. She did get a contested pace to close into and may have to try and stay within a more reasonable distance in the early stages of this contest.
