Top pick: #5 (MATCHING SKIES) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, she moves up in class in her first off a Bob Barbara claim. Speedy mare has done well for every barn she's been in and last out was an 8 1/2 length wire-to-wire winner at Aqueduct for a $12.5K tag. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Coast of Sangria) (2-1) - Old timer has won five times on the Belmont dirt while the rest of the field has a total of two combined. When last in action she was beaten just under a length by 'Tarty to the Party' Feb 28. Claimed that day by Bruce Levine (21% first off the claim), he has her nicely spotted and 6-year-old by 'Afleet Alex' is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (My Donna Jean) (4-1) - Stretch runner enters in shape and moves from an outside post to the rail. Her best chance would be if someone were to try and run with 'Matching Skies' early on.
