Top pick: #7 (PADDLE BOARD) (7-2) - Lightly-raced home-bred by "Harlan's Holiday" ships in from Pimlico where she was an impressive maiden winner going 6-furlongs on June 1st. By far a career best, it came in her second back from a 4 1/2 month layoff and trainer Alan Goldberg has been sending out "live" runners at this meet 11-1-4-3.
2nd pick: #5 (Money Game) (5-2) - Trainer Todd Pletcher moves this daughter of "Elusive Quality" from turf to dirt for this attempt. Filly raced both wide and evenly in a grass sprint here on May 26th. It was her first for Pletcher and first since March 15th. She has a flexible style and her best to date came on the Gulfstream dirt at this distance when getting her maiden victory on March 15th.
3rd pick: #1 (Alpaca Fina) (2-1) - She tired badly here in a grass sprint when facing a bit better just seven days ago. Filly has a fine record on dirt (9-3-0-4) and trainer Dave Jacobson specializes on these quick turnarounds.
4th pick: #4 (Gem City Gal) (6-1) - Freshened-up since April 27th, she's dropping a bit in class following a pair of even efforts at Aqu. when facing a bit better. Speed/stalker fits with her best, and her ability to break running is a plus in this field.
