Top pick: #1 (CLARA KELLY) (7-2) - Freshened up since May 1, she finished third that day racing at this level and distance. Thought she received a very weak ride that afternoon and trainer Chad Brown has J.J. Castellano back aboard after a one race absence. $350K daughter of 'War Front' can take this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #8 (Groovy A) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she missed by a 'neck' here at this distance May 23. Speedy filly set a fast pace and was caught in the last two strides that afternoon. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (May Flowers) (3-1) - She's gone 3-0-2-1 in turf sprints and last out finished third, beaten 2 1/2 lengths by today's rival 'Groovy A.' Much improved since switching to the turf, she can factor again this afternoon.
4th pick: #4 (Nimble Foot) (6-1) - Irish bred is cutting back in distance so she'll probably he far back early in this turf sprint. Her best chance would be for a fast/and or contested pace to develop. Even then, others would have the first move over her. A minor award is predicted.
