Top pick: #7 (FINAL WORD) - Well-bet in all three appearances, Pennsylvania-bred finished second when debuting against "Open" $25K maidens on April 1st, then just missed on May 2nd racing against fellow state-bred special weights. Last out she lost all chance when "bumped" heavily at the break and trainer Ed Coletti Jr. brings her back quickly and drops her to a new low. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Stroud Point) - Speedy daughter of "Speightstown" races first off a Scott Lake claim and he brings her back in three weeks with a slight raise in price. Blinkers are added and this filly should be getting the early lead without much opposition. Dangerous runner.
3rd pick: #1 (Ten Pin Tide) - She ships back from New York where she raced wide and improved a bit down the stretch racing in a special weight contest for New York-bred on the Belmont turf. In her previous start she finished second at this price and distance on the dirt. Stretch threat.
