Top pick: #6 (LIRICA HEAT) (7-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, she's been sharp in her last pair, and believe she faced tougher groups in both. Speed/stalker can beat these with her best.

2nd pick: #2 (Barbara Beatrice) (8-1) - Grey filly has been freshened up since racing evenly in a pair of dirt sprints earlier this year. Owned/trained/bred by Phil D'Amato, she wasn't beaten much in her first pair and is bred to like the grass. Price play.

3rd pick: #3 (Wandering Heart) (9-5) - The probable favorite, 6yo has been sharp in both starts, one each on turf & dirt. She finished third at this level and distance debuting on the grass March 5, then rallied while wide to finish second on the dirt April 12. An obvious contender at a very short price.

4th pick: #1 (It Girl) (4-1) - She's stretching out in distance after rallying from far back to finish fourth at this level going 'down the hill' March 15. A career best, it was her first ever on the turf. Working nicely since, and a stretch threat in this spot.
