Top pick: #3 (PLEASANT PACIFIC) - Daughter of "Stormy Atlantic" runs 3rd back off a 7 month break and will take a big drop in price and cut-back in distance for this. 3yo set the pace and tired last out facing tougher going a mile at Belmont and can run the presumed pace-setter Hey Valentina down during the stretch run today.
2nd pick: #1 (Hey Valentina) - Has the rail, the best early speed, and she'll be sent hard early by jockey Ramon Dominguez. Grey filly tired badly last out for twice this price racing on a sloppy track at Belmont. The main danger.
3rd pick: #4 (Lemme) - Runs off almost a two month break, goes turf to dirt, drops in price, and shortens up in distance. Can factor from off the pace.
