Top pick: #1 (CIAO VALENTINA) (5-2) - Since coming here from Golden Gate Fields late in 2012, filly has gone (5-2-0-2) and enters off a career best when winning a 2l allowance at this distance on April 19th. She was visually impressive that afternoon and will be tough on this crew with a repeat of that effort.

2nd pick: #7 (Rock Hard Bunny) (9-5) - The main danger, daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" rallied to finish second at this level on April 21st and that marked a career best overall. In shape, and she has enough positional speed to stay close through-out and make a run turning for home.

3rd pick: #2 (Pine Ridge) (9-2) - Lightly raced and well-bred, she tired after setting a quick and pressured pace in the same April 21st race that "Bunny" exits. She's worked very fast since and will take them as far as she can.

4th pick: #3 (On Time Again) (4-1) - Veteran is making her 10th attempt at getting her third win, but has been competitive a number of times at this level. Daughter of "Holy Bull" must be left in the mix.
