Top pick: #4 (SUNNY SMILES) - Filly has some ability, a very strong stretch kick, and she's been facing better fields than this at the same level. Trainer Dave Donk will cut her back in distance and this home-bred catches a field that she can beat with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #1 (Juliann's Approval ) - Filly also cuts back in distance after tiring last out going a mile. Three-year-old has been competitive in her previous pair on this course sprinting and should run well in this spot. She's part of a Randi Persaud trained entry, and only one will run.

3rd pick: #1a (Little Reya) - The second half of the Persaud entry has improved noticeably since switching to the turf and cuts back to a sprint after running second at this level going 9 furlongs May 22nd. Strong win candidate.
