Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (LADY RIZZI) - Not many 9-year-old mares still capable at competing at this high a level, but this New York-bred has been carefully managed by Linda Rice over all these years. Daughter of "Rizzi" went (8-1-3-1) last year and is (3-0-0-1) in 2012, but has finished close up in all three appearances. Stalker is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #12 (Downtown Hottie) - Another veteran and this daughter of "City Zip" has a fine overall turf record (14-2-5-2) with most all of those starts coming facing tougher. 5-year-old has a nice outside post at this 7 furlong distance and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #11 (Dyna Vision) - Lightly raced, speedy, and improving, she's (3-1-2-0) since mid-March and trainer Bruce Levine will move her to the grass for the first time. Bred to handle the turf and a strong factor if she takes to it.

4th pick: #10 (Centrina) - Runs third back off a six month absence and this grey mare has won five times on this surface. She rallied to finish fourth last out and has sharp work on May 26th. The faster the pace, the better her chances.
