Top pick: #8 (DELIGHTFUL DAWN) (2-1) - Mare enters on a form upswing and has raced herself back into shape since returning from a four month layoff in early March. Last out here 11 days ago she rallied to finish second at this tag going six furlongs and that proved she can handle this often "tricky" surface. She's one foe one at this seven furlong trip and is (3-1-1-1) on "wet" tracks. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Hot Splash) (5-1) - Filly races third back from a 100 day freshening and will be going turf to dirt, dropping down, and shortening up in distance. Capable, and she's (2-0-1-1) on "wet" tracks.
3rd pick: #6 (Chance Encounter) (3-1) - She finished an even third at Aqueduct on April 12 facing tougher going a mile and will be taking a big drop in class and cutting back in distance. A fine half-mile breeze eight days ago suggests she's ready for a sharp effort.
4th pick: #4 (Stellaluce) (6-1) - Speedy sort is in good form and last out she tired after setting the pace in the same May 1 contest as "Dawn". She loves the local surface (12-3-3-3) and should be involved from start-to-finish.
