Top pick: #6 (LOVE STANZA CHANCE) - Grey filly had a tough outside post in her latest and weakened while near the pace while well out in the course. Trainer Tom Albertrani will add blinkers today and this daughter of "Unbridled's Song" draws a much better post. Three-year-old can take this competitive contest at a square price.

2nd pick: #8 (Tropical Jetset) - She's finished second in five of her 12 outings with four of those coming in her seven turf outings. Filly move back in with state-bred special weights after heing competitive in her last pair facing "open" $25K claimers. Dominguez stays put and 4-year-old is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Bound to Happen) - Filly by "Tiznow" ran evenly in her debut sprinting on the grass a month ago and the under-rated barn of Lisa Lewis stretches her out in distance today. Bet down to favoritism in her first start, natural improvement second time out makes her a contender.

4th pick: #5 (Soinlovewithuam I) - The field's main-speed will stretch-out in distance in her third start back off a long break. Has ability, is in the Rice barn, and the combination of speed and a nice price makes her dangerous.

5th pick: #10 (A New York Phillie) - No-speed type is improving, but draws a tough outside post that means she'll be far back early on and will need some pace help to make her stretch run count. Small slice may be her ceiling.
