Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (COOKINTHISORTHAT) - Improving daughter of "Bernstein" has good early speed and finished a pace-setting/pressing third last out at this level and distance on the main-track. Filly moves to the grass for the first time and looks all set for her maiden win. She's the pick on turf or dirt (if the race is switched).

2nd pick: #7 (Bathing Beauty) - Another filly by "Benchmark" and last out she put in a late rally to finish 1 1/2 lengths off of the top choice. Home-bred also tries the grass for the first time and is a stretch threat. She's one of two entered by trainer Cliff Sise Jr. and they'll race uncoupled.

3rd pick: #5 (Burton's Angel) - She split the top two picks last out and like that pair this daughter of "Bertrando" will be racing on the turf for the first time. Can factor today at a nice price.
