Top pick: #2 (DIAMOND CUT) (3-1) - She enters off a pair of second-place finishes here at this level. The latest saw her miss by a 'nose' going a mile May 23. Strong finisher has experience at this demanding 9-furlong distance and she meets a weak field. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Blind Dreams) (12-1) - Longshot is stretching out in distance and racing on the turf for the first time. Lightly-raced, long-winded type can factor at a big price if she handles the grass.
3rd pick: #6 (My Sweet Afleet) (4-1) - Speedy filly has solid early speed, and that makes her dangerous against this group. Last out she set a pressured pace before weakening late to finish third, two lengths behind 'Diamond Cut.' Four-year-old should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #7 (True History) (7-2) - Another with some speed, she raced both wide and evenly in the same last race as both 'Diamond Cut' and 'My Sweet Afleet.' Needs to do better for anything more than a minor award.
