Top pick: #8 (FOLLOW THE CROWD) - Filly finished a rallying second here at this price in her first back off a 13 1/2 month layoff and home-bred will be making back to back starts for the first time today. Trainer Marty Jones has four weeks to recover and she draws a nice post for her style. The top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Pet Me Pet Me) - Four-year-old by "Midway Road" has taken money in all three starts and has regressed since a solid effort when debuting here on April 24th. Trainer Vlad Cerin takes her blinkers off and names a winless 10 lb. apprentice to ride. Can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #1 (Homework) - Veteran maiden returns from Golden gate Fields wher she ran evenly in a mile turf contest at this price. Filly will shorten-up in distance and switch back to the "poly" this afternoon. Think she'll be very competitive in this spot.
