(# 3) BUDDHAS'S PLEASURE - Very speedy filly performed well at Gulfstream Park before coming to Delaware Park. Finished third in her only start here when competing against slightly better horses on May 22nd. She owns superior speed figures over all the horses that have raced, and the first timers entered would have to be quick to outrun her early on. Dominguez sees fit to reride her, and she takes a slight drop in class to try and break her maiden.

(# 5)Sahm Psalm - Ran second in a cheaper maiden race at Gulfstream Park on March 21st. Shipped north, she had some problems at the start of a distance race, virtually being eliminated, then ran fourth when blinkers were added in last. Top pick defeated her handily in the most recent, but it was encouraging to see her stay on well late.

(# 1) Studious - Drops into a claimer for the first time after two tries against Maiden Specials at Laurel. By good Maryland sire Allen's Prospect, she should improve on the severe class drop.
