Top pick: #8 (MISS RED CLOUD) (9-5) - She's proven to be a rare claim by Dave Jacobson that he hasn't been able to improve very much. However, she finished an even third here at this level on April 2nd and will be sent a bit farther and has a positive jockey change to Cornelio Velasquez. Filly meets an extremely weak field and appears to have only one serious opponent.
2nd pick: #7 (Fancy 'n Flight) (5-2) - New York bred has been competitive in two straight and will be dropping back down for this attempt. Filly has more speed than most entered and is the main danger to "Miss Red Cloud."
3rd pick: #4 (Lady C Note) (8-1) - "Grinding" type has raced well enough on two of her last three to pick up a piece of this and gets 10lbs off with apprentice Davis aboard.
4th pick: #3 (Eva Lil) (30-1) - Huge longshot isn't a win threat, but her one-paced gallop could get her a minor award at a very big price if she's not sent hard at the break.
