Top pick: #8 (GRAND MORNING) - Faces off against maiden claimers for the first time after an even effort against tougher on May 9 returning from a long layoff. Draws a nice post for the distance and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Sweet On Bernice) - Poor overall field should allow this first-time starter from the barn of Dominick Schetino to be competitive at first asking.
3rd pick: #3 (Gold Jig) - Ran well last out in a sprint, only his second lifetime start. Gets some extra yardage today and trainer Tim Hills wins at a 15% rate on the stretch-out.
