Top pick: #3 (AWEDACIOUS KAREN) - One of a pair of speedy in-form runners from the barn of Juan Serey and the pair race uncoupled. This mare was a gate to wire winner on this surface June 3rd in her best effort since last November. New York-bred is brought back in two weeks and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Blue's Heir) - She's put together back to back wins at this meet and unlike her barn--mate "Karen", she has the ability to rate a bit before trying for the top. Mare defeated Jersey-bred allowance foes last out and is dropped back into an "open" claimer.
