Top pick: #8 (SHERRY BAY G.) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" is improving and has been competitive in both local grass starts since returning off a 2 1/2 month layoff in late April. In a good barn (Chris Clement) and stalker draws outside of the speed. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Desert Bliss) - She hinted at some talent last year and finished second on this course at this level going a mile in late October. Away over the winter/spring for 5 1/2 months, 3-year-old rallied to finish second here at this distance in her return start May 17th. Strong finisher is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Carey Princess) - Speedy filly has set a fast pace in both turf sprints and tired very late while finishing third and fourth. Grey daughter of "War Front" should get to the top against these and is a threat on the lead.
