Top pick: #2 (ECONOMIC TSUNAMI) - Filly has some sharp gate drills and looks well-prepared for her debut by a top barn (Wesley Ward 30% first-out). Could win this abbreviated sprint (five furlongs) by sprinting clear in the first 100 yards.
2nd pick: #1 (Artistic Ability) - Barn (John Kimmel) won some two-year-old races late in the Belmont meet and filly's drills are all well above average. Rail draw is a plus as is the presence of Desormeaux, who wins at a fine 23% rate when teamed-up with trainer Kimmel.
3rd pick: #3 (Verse Choir) - Showed good speed in her debut before tiring in the last furlong. Coa stays put and she should improve second time out.
