Top pick: #2 (BELLA VIAGGIA) - One of a pair entered here by trainer Mike Puype and the pair race as separate betting interests. The probable favorite, filly rallied while wide to finish second when debuting at this level and distance at Hollywood Park May 26th. Working both fast and frequently for her return and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Northern Flight) - The second of the Puype pair is a debuting 4-year-old who has been training steadily since late April. Some of the works are on the quick side and this home-bred can factor if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Romance is Roman) - She took some money in her debut, but was away slowly and fought her rider for most of the trip. The winning filly that day is talented and trainer Doug O'Neill has worked this daughter of "In Excess" twice on this surface to get ready for this outing.
