Top pick: #7 (STONERIDGE) - Filly raced within range in her debut and finished evenly checking-in fifth of eight, beaten 9 1/2 lengths. Trainer Bruce Levine rarely wins first out but improves to 22% second out and he does son frequently by adding blinkers (33%) and lasix (28%). Home-bred by "Harlan's Holiday" draws a good post at this 6.5 furlong trip and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Justasmalltowngirl) - Another who raced evenly in her debut and it came facing tougher. Trainer Gary Contessa drops her down in price, adds blinkers, and he brings her back quickly for this (9 days). Win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Real Charmer) - She has some speed but has been tiring during the stretch in each of her races. Filly will cut-back in distance off a pair of mile starts and that may have improved her stamina a bit.
