Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (FIFTYSHADESOFHAY) (3-1) - Talented filly by "Pulpit" hasn't won since taking the (G3) Iowa Oaks last June. Lightly raced since, she did finish second in both the "Alabama" (G1) & the "Bayakoa" (G2), and has been training fast for trainer Bob Baffert for her first since March 15. She has a nice outside post in this "flat" mile contest, and Johnny Velazquez is aboard.

2nd pick: #2 (My Wandy's Girl) (7-2) - Mare has been victorious in 15 of 23 overall, and when last in action, she won the (G2) "Barbara Fritchie" going seven-furlongs at Laurel on Feb. 22nd. She has a flexible style, is working bullets, and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Six Queens) (4-1) - Very lightly raced 5yo has gone 4-3-1-0 in her short career and enters off an easy win at Aqueduct over weaker going seven-furlongs on April 10. Speedy/stalker draws the rail for her first stakes attempt and first at this mile trip.

4th pick: #3 (Parc Monceau) (15-1) - Grey daughter of "Giant's Causeway" enters off a career best when defeating weaker at this "flat" mile distance on April 4 at Aqueduct. She's worked well since and can factor at a big price.
