Top pick: #5 (TROPHEE) (2-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and the pair race uncoupled. French import has finished second in three straight at this level, the last pair of those coming at this 1 1/8th mile trip. One-run type gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Castellani) (5-2) - The second of the Clement pair, she's finished second twice in a row at this level. The latest of those came on this course May 15 going 1 1/4 miles. Speed/stalker is a win candidate and 3-year-old completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #4 (Nimble Foot) (4-1) - Irish bred is improving and has been beaten by less than two lengths in her last pair. Both came on this course going shorter and she should enjoy the additional yardage of today's assignment.
