Top pick: #9 (WIN FOR KITTEN) (7-2) - Consistent (5-2-2-0) and lightly raced, when last in action, daughter of "Kitten's Joy" ran second when facing similar at Aqu. racing at this distance on April 11th. One-run type draws a nice outside post and all the speed is to her left in the gate.
2nd pick: #5 (Blossom's Trail) (5-2) - Undefeated (2-for-2), home-bred took her first pair racing at Gulfstream during March and runs this afternoon off an 80 day freshening. Stalker has bee training nicely for her return on the deep Saratoga training track and is an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Al's Rosie) (5-1) - Claimed in early Feb. at Aqu. for $35K by Bruce Levine, he sent this filly in for a 2 1/2 month break at that time and she's returned a better horse. She's gone 2-1-1-0 since then and was winner here at this trip facing weaker on May 17th. Daughter of "Harlan's Holiday" has the inside post, a close up style, and can factor despite the tougher competition.
4th pick: #4 (Implied ) (15-1) - She tired here after chasing a quick pace going 7 furlongs on May 30th when racing for a $35K tag. Claimed that afternoon by Pat Quick, he moves her up in class and stretches her out to a better distance.
