Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (PRECARIOUS) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well-bred, she missed by a "nose" here racing at this level and distance on May 7. Strong performance came off almost an eight month layoff, and daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Concise) (6-5) - The "morning line" favorite, English-bred filly is also by "Lemon Drop Kid" and ships in from Keeneland where she checked third of 10, beaten a length racing at this condition going 8.5-furlongs. Race was her first in six months, and the added distance today works in her favor. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Glorious Chant) (6-1) - She enters off a career best "figure" when filly was only a "neck" back of "Precarious" here on May 7. 4yo has a flexible style and can impact if her last effort is repeatable.

4th pick: #3 (Adriatic Dream) (6-1) - New York bred exits the same May 7 contest as both "Precarious" & "Glorious Chant" and raced evenly in her first since Dec. 1st. "Long-winded" type has more grass wins (three) than any other entered, and her chances would improve if the pace was fast and/or contested.
