Top pick: #5 (PRINCESS VIOLET) (7-5) - Barry Schwartz home-bred just missed when debuting against open maiden special weights at Gulfstream on March 16th. Daughter of "Officder" shipped soon after that and was the easiest of winners at Aqu. April 6th when facing fellow New York-breds. Filly takes the next logical step and believe she'll be a factor in stakes down the line.
2nd pick: #6 (Riveressed) (12-1) - Longshot tackles winners for the first time after breaking her maiden at Aqu. on April 17th. Clearly improving and her ability to rate just off the pave is a big plus.
3rd pick: #3 (Sister Margaret) (5-2) - Filly by "Pulpit" rallied from off the pace to win by just over a length when debuting at Aqu. on April 27th. She was bet late that afternoon and home-bred is a threat right back for an excellent small barn (Nick Esler).
4th pick: #4 (Little Gabby Girl) (12-1) - Two-time winner set the pace and weakened late to finish third here facing $16K "open" claiming company April 25th. It was her first since Aug. 1 at Saratoga when she was claimed by trainer Rich Schosberg. Can grab a share at a nice price.
