Top pick: #2 (CLOUDSPUN) - Tries the grass today off a very "useful" debut run. Filly stalked the pace from a wide post, bid, reached the front in mid-stretch, but flattened out a bit late. Daughter of "Halo's Image" has been given some time in-between and has a half-dozen good drills. Barn (Steve Asmussen) is strong second time out.

2nd pick: #9 (Grand Finesse) - Good barn (Wally Dollase) sends this daughter of "Grand Slam" back to the grass after tiring on "poly" last out. Previous turf race saw her finish a good 3rd in her second lifetime start. Runs better today.

3rd pick: #7 (Pleasant Song) - Finished second last out at a mile, so she'll be cutting-back in distance today. Daughter of "Unbridled's Song" has faced-off against some tough runners without breaking her maiden.

4th pick: #5 (Bruco Vale) - Good Canadian barn (Malcolm Pierce) sends this late finisher back to the grass after she failed in a "polytrack" race last out. Strong late kick is a plus on this turf.
