Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (OFFICIAL) (3-1) - Lightly-raced filly has been freshened up since late March when she chased and weakened going a mile at laurel facing "open" special weight opposition. Daughter of "Officer" had finished 4th of 12, beaten 2 1/2 lengths in her previous start racing at this distance on Feb. 24 at Aqueduct. She has a new trainer (Dave Jacobson 26% with new arrivals), and a bullet 3-furlong breeze on May 7th. Drops a bit, is back in with state-breds, and is the top pick

2nd pick: #5 (Baby B) (4-1) - Speedy daughter of "Big Brown" is racing third off a 2 1/2 month break and will be shortening up in distance and moving from turf-to-dirt. In shape, improving, and this is her first in a claimer.

3rd pick: #3 (Talk to Me) (6-1) - Home-bred filly has been freshened up sincve Dec. 12 when she raced both wide and evenly at this level. Working well for her return, veteran trainer Mike Gorham adds blinkers for the first time. A threat if ready.
