Top pick: #3 (SMASHING) (5-2) - Her name fits her recent maiden win as home-bred by "Malibu Moon" won in wire-to-wire fashion by almost seven-lengths. The final time at Aqu. that day was a swift 1:09 flat for this six-furlong trip, and she's worked very fast three times since. The top pick.

2nd pick: #4 (Superior Sarah) (8-1) - Veteran mare comes off a "neck" loss here at this level and distance on May 4. Stalker has a fine local record (8-1-4-0), and she's a stretch threat in this spot.

3rd pick: #6 (Aliana) (5-1) - Lightly raced filly rallied to finish third here on May 4 and was 1 1/2 lengths back of "Sarah" that afternoon. Nice overall effort, and it's noted that this 4yo looked like she had a bright future late in 2013. 4yo seems headed in the right direction and should be a square price.

4th pick: #7 (Momentary Magic) (12-1) - Daughter of "Indian Charlie" is a bit on the "high strung" side and believe that's hurt her overall development. Speedy sort is racing second back from almost a nine-month layoff, and has been working very fast on the Saratoga training track.
