Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (GROOVEITUDE) - Price play is well-bred, in a good barn (Leigh Delacour), and this daughter of "Dixie Union" comes into this off a wire to wire win at Pen National over weaker. Improving quickly at this point, has the rail, speed/stalking ability, and a bullet work at Fair Hill four days ago. Can take this at a nice price.

2nd pick: #3 (Fortune Play) - She's 3 for 4 at this "tricky" 7 furlong trip and comes here from Ellis Park where she finished a wide and even 4th in the G3 Gardenia S. Professional stalker tries hard every time and must be considered a win threat.

3rd pick: #8 (Don'tgetsuspicious) - Very fast early and mare has a bit of a home field advantage as sh'e won 5 of 7 starts on the "small" oval. She tired last out at Mountaineer after being involved in a pace duel. Has stalking ability if necessary and that versatility makes her a must use.

4th pick: #7 (Switching Gears) - Not as accomplished as most, but she has a strong closing gear and is in a barn (Steve Margolis) tha's firing on all cylinders this year. Longshot had a bullet work at Churchill before shipping here.
