Top pick: #3 (BENNY'S BULLET) (7-5) - Speedy filly raced both wide and evenly from a tough outside post sprinting on the local turf for twice this price on May 30. It was her second back from a 6 1/2 month layoff, and trainer Gary Contessa drops her to a new low and switches her to the main track. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Cajun Wedding) (3-1) - Lightly raced daughter of "Broken Vow" just missed here at this distance facing slightly better on May 16. Speed/stalker should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #8 (Nurse Stone) (5-1) - Filly by "Stonesider" just missed (by a "head") facing weaker at Aqu. on April 27. She's improved in both starts since her debut and can factor with another step forward.
4th pick: #9 (Hot On Ice) (5-1) - This filly drops in class and has Lasix added in her third outing. Home-bred by "Hook and Ladder" has a pair of sharp works heading into this and can factor if she avoids a wide trip.
5th pick: #5 (Discreet Malena) (20-1) - Longshot tired badly after pressing the pace in the same last race as "Cajun Wedding." It was her first race in seven months and blinkers go on this home-bred.
