Top pick: #5 (NEREID) - Filly was an impressive maiden winner here May 7th in her first ever on the grass and first since returning from almost a 7 month layoff May 7. Daughter of "Rock Hard Ten" has a pair of maintenance works since the win and this 3-year-old may have some real talent. Faces a tough field and we'll find out a lot more about her this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Wave of Applause) - Clearly the main speed and she gets some class relief this afternoon after setting the pace and tiring in a pair of graded stakes. Has an inside post, is working fast, and will be very tough on the lead in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Rosehill Dew) - Beautifully bred filly from Ireland finished fourth in her North American debut at Santa Anita Apr. 15th and that was her first start since she ran second in an allowance race in France Oct 1. Think she has a lot of ability and if she doesn't show it today, she will going longer distances.
