Top pick: #2 (DIVADORA) (3-1) - She comes off a career best when defeating weaker here on June 12th. She broke sharply, set a fast pace, and drew off to win by 6 1/2 lengths, stopping the clock in a swift 1:09.40 at today's 6-furlong trip. Filly has since come back with a bullet breeze at Fair Hill and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Little Rocket) (2-1) - Very lightly raced home-bred has been freshened up since finishing fourth of six in the $75K "Ruthless" stakes facing "open" company. She has talent and stalker is a win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #6 (Drinksonthehouse) (8-1) - On the sidelines since late March, mare is a competitive sort (16-2-7-1) and the level and distance are fine for her return. Working steadily at Aqueduct and a threat with her best.
4th pick: #5 (Lenders Way) (6-1) - One of two fillies entered by trainer Jim Ryerson and the pair race uncoupled. Daughter of "Hook and Ladder" rallied to finish second here at this level and distance on June 13th in her second back from a 6 1/2 month layoff and a repeat of that effort makes her a threat.
