Top pick: #7 (CAROLINA FUEGO) - Drops after finish a close-up 3rd here on May 15. Stretch runner will need some pace help, but there appears to be enough speed signed-on to help her style out. Dominguez's presence suggests her connections like her chances.
2nd pick: #4 (City In The Clouds) - Barn (Gary Contessa) has been in a prolonged slump for the past five weeks. Filly is consistent and has many more minor awards than wins. Latest race is a "toss" as she had a very troubled trip. Can win this if the top pick is sub-par.
3rd pick: #5 (Western ) - Consistent runner finished a close-up third at this level here on April 30 when she stalked, bid, reached the front, and tired late. Win contender.
