Top pick: #7 (DANCING DAISY) - Excellent grass debut saw her rally and just miss (a nose) at this distance at Saratoga. Trainer Dave Donk has given her six weeks off since that race and she has a pair of works since coming downstate. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Judge Margaret) - Also finished second in her turf debut at Saratoga. Filly tracked the pace and rallied into second, but was no match to a runaway winner. Win contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Grace's Valentine) - Bet-well in her Saratoga debut, filly bred for the turf ("Rahy")just did not run at all. Could improve a lot in start number two.
