Top pick: #7 (VERSE CHOIR) - Daughter of "Bowman's Band" tired chasing the pace last out running for $25,000. Race was her first in almost three months and Allen Jerkens drops her and brings her back quickly for this (13 days). The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Artistic Ability) - Runs off a trainer switch to John Parisella and a subsequent seven week layoff. Well-bet in all three starts, she's shown fine eary speed in her last pair running for $25K. Drops and the trainer's main rider (Ramon Dominguez) climbs aboard. She should be viewed as the equal of the top choice.
3rd pick: #2 (Jazz Performer) - Freshened-up for the past seven weeks by trainer Gary Gullo she's working steadily, drops, and draws the rail. Should run well at a square price.
