Top pick: #5 (FREE FLYING SOUL) - Mare returns from Churchill where she ran a big race in the Humana Distaff(G1) in the slop on Derby Day in her first ever on conventional dirt. Synthetics specialist is a professional stalker and gets a good speed set-up today. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Sweet August Moon) - Hard-hitter always comes to run and seems to be working herself back into shape following a long layoff. Graded winner has worked 5 times since her race here on the grass May 1st and some of the drills are impressive.
3rd pick: #7 (Dance to My Tune) - Surprise package tries sprinting for the first time in her career and veteran mare is working fast for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer as he cuts her back in distance. She'll need to come from slightly off the pace today, but has done that before. Stretch threat.
