Top pick: #1 (MAGSAMELIA) (2-1) - The "morning line" favorite, she moves up in price after missing by a "neck" here on a "sloppy" surface for a $50K tag on May 9. Speedy sort has worked four times since, is in a very "hot" barn (Gary Contessa), and breaks from the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Blisterring Strike) (15-1) - Longshot caught a "muddy" surface when debuting here facing special weights on May 10. Daughter of "Curlin" tired after pressing the pace while widest and will drop down a bit in class, and race with blinkers added. Working well and is a threat at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Silver Union) (3-1) - Lightly raced filly is racing third back from a 10 month layoff and comes off a career best here on June 1. $170K daughter of "Dixie Union" drops in class, moves off the rail, and retains John Velazquez.
4th pick: #4 (Lateen) (7-2) - Filly was an easy winner when debuting on March 7 at Aqueduct racing for a $25K tag. She was subsequently disqualified from the purse a week later for a medication violation and has been on the sidelines since. Working well, and a threat despite a big bump up in class.
