Top pick: #4 (VERISMILITUDE) (8-5) - Lightly-raced filly drops in class after tiring last out facing tougher. Daughter of 'Henny Hughes' was bumped heavily at the break that day and had to rush up after recovering. She's worked well since, draws outside of the other speed, and has blinkers added by trainer Tony Dutrow (a 21% winning angle).
2nd pick: #3 (Sacred Success) (5-1) - Speedy mare tired while pressing a quick pace between horses facing tougher at Aqu. April 2nd. It was her first start in 11-months and this 6-year-old has a fine record at Belmont 4-2-1-0. Her connections drop her down in her second off the long absence.
3rd pick: #1 (Henry's Gal) (5-2) - Another with early speed, she tired badly when last in action Jan 1. A stakes winner in the past facing fellow New York breds, she's dropping to a new low in class and breaks from the rail.
