Top pick: #4 (DREAMING IS FREE) (8-5) - Mare enters in good form and has been a consistent performer over the past 16 months (14-3-4-5). Stalker finished second here at this distance for an $8,000 claiming price April 12. Good effort came first off a claim, and veteran is dropped back down to the claimed price in this spot. 5yo Canadian bred meets a weak field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Solari Island) (5-2) - Veteran ships in from Penn National where she set a pressured pace and held to win by a 'head' at this distance for a $4,000 tag April 16. 8yo has won 9-times during her career and was a winner here at this price tag last August going 7-furlongs.
3rd pick: #3 (Angel in Waiting) (10-1) - Speedy sort is returning to action following almost a 5 1/2 month layoff. Capable if ready, and even if she isn't, Pa-bred will take them as far as she can.
