Top pick: #8 (JENNY'S CREEK) (7-2) - Veteran mare stretches back out a bit in distance and moves up in class for this attempt. Stretch runner rallied to defeat 'open' 2l $40K claimers here going 7-furlongs June 14. 6. Six-year-old has come off a 6 1/2 month layoff in career best form and is now 15-1-7-2 on the Belmont grass.

2nd pick: #4 (Aesthetique) (10-1) - She was competitive several times here last year at this level and spent the winter at Gulfstream where she went 3-0-1-0. Un-raced since a poor effort in Florida in late Feb, she's training well at Philly Park for her return. Speed/stalker can factor at a big price if ready with her best.

3rd pick: #2 (Forever for Always) (9-2) - Mare is another moving up in class after defeating 'open' 2l $40K claimers here at this trip June 20. A career best overall, she's been much improved since late last year. In the mix.

4th pick: #9 (Resolutely) (5-1) - Speedy sort pressed the pace before weakening in the final furlong here at this level going a mile June 11. Solid effort came off almost an 8-month layoff and she should move forward off of it.
