Top pick: #4 (PINEY RIVER) - The probable favorite has the best early speed and last out missed by a neck here at this level going 6 furlongs from a tough outside post (13th of 13). Draws a much better post today, shortens-up a 1/16th, and has her blinkers taken off. The top pick.

2nd pick: #1 (Wild Cat Lore) - Has the rail, some early speed, and Valenzuela takes the re-ride. Filly has a fast work since her latest, and meets a field of mostly untried foes. Can factor at a nice price.

3rd pick: #3 (Swiss Charm) - Heavily bet last out, this filly by "Swiss Yodeler" showed some early interest from a tough inside draw at 6.5 furlongs before finishing evenly. She's worked twice since and trainer Eoin Harty adds blinkers this afternoon. Look for a better performance.
