Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (MAGGIE NEARY) - Irish import makes her North American debut and has proven to be a consistent sort on both the flat and over hurdles in her native country. She runs today off a trainer change to Janet Elliot and lasix will be added. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Maya Charli) - Mare by international sire "Cozzene" has won two in a row and when last in action on May 26th she won a stakes over the jumps at Fair Hill in Maryland. Should contend today.

3rd pick: #4 (Sweet Shani) - Old grey mare has been very good at times but has also needed many lengthy layoffs in her long career. She was "pulled up" last out in May in her first start since October, but at that time she was an easy winner of a small stakes. Must be left in the mix.
