Top pick: #2 (MEANDER) - She returns from Monmouth where she raced evenly at this level and distance. In a good barn (Mike Matz) this daughter of "Maria's Mon" has won two of three on this surface and her early speed should lead to another win. The top choice.
2nd pick: #1 (Cloud Blue) - Trainer Graham Motion sent her to the grass for the first time last out and she responded with a good-looking win on this surface in what by far her best effort to date. Has the inside draw and enough speed to stay close. Serious looking challenger.
3rd pick: #5 (Baltic Lady ) - She usuallyu puts in a good effort but notice that she needed a drop down to $7500 competition last fall at Laurel to pick-up her 2nd win. Stretch runner should get a piece of this at the end.
