Top pick: #2 (ACARPIAN) (2-1) - One of two entered by leading trainer Bob Diodoro and the pair give him a strong hand in this turf contest. Grey filly just missed last out racing at this level and distance and that ran her local record to 12-5-3-2. Strong finisher is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Nena's Niner) (8-5) - The second of the Diodoro runners, mare won at this tag and defeated "Acarpian" by a 1/2 length on April 2nd. She loves this course (19-5-4-4), is in shape, has the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Larissa's Love) (7-2) - Filly ships from the Fair Grounds where she won two in a row earlier in the year. Claimed for $12.5K by trainer Greg Tracy and speedy filly is a threat if she brings her form with her.
