Top pick: #1 (NOON SERMON) (3-1) - Filly is lightly-raced and speedy. Recent start at Aqueduct saw her chase a quick pace while racing wide facing tougher. State-bred tired late that afternoon in what her first start in 110-days. Trainer John Parisella has worked her twice since and drops her way down in class. She has the rail, gets in light, and has impressive apprentice Cancel aboard.

2nd pick: #4 (Kathy's Reward) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, she was very sharp in her first two starts at the Fair Grounds. Sent to Mahoning Valley for a $75K stakes April 18th, she tired badly after being involved in a pace-duel. She's worked fast here since, and the high-percentage barn of Joe Sharp drops her down and removes her blinkers after a one race experiment.

3rd pick: #7 (Delightful Erin) (5-1) - She's moving up in class after a pair of back-to-back wins over softer. Speedy filly comes off a career best figure at Aqueduct April 9th and has put in a pair of solid works since. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #2 (Adrift) (7-2) - Filly was a winner when debuting against four rivals April 19th at Aqueduct. The field was very weak and the final time slow. She was bet down to 9-5 favoritism that day and is conservatively spotted by trainer Rudy Rodriguez in her first facing winners. Can't be eliminated.
