Top pick: #3 (PRECIOUS PRIDE) - Drops into a claimer for the first time, goes second off a seven-week layoff, and moves from the turf to the dirt. Those are all strong winning angles for her trainer (Bruce Levine). Lots of things to like.
2nd pick: #2 (Super Child) - Logical contender and probable heavy favorite. Daughter of "Empire Maker" was claimed on April 4 by Dave Jacobson for $35,000 and finished second here on May 21 racing for $40K in his first try for the new connections. Drops today to $16,000 and is a strong win contender.
3rd pick: #6 (Last Indian) - Calder shipper finished second going aeven furlongs for $25K on May 3, then ran a very distant third in her latest going a mile. Runs today first time for "Chip" Dutrow, a 24% winning angle. Stretch threat for the win.
