Top pick: #10 (DELIGHTFUL DAWN) (7-2) - Mare stalked, bid to the front, then was outfinished while finishing third here at this price on May 12th. Claimed that day by leading trainer Dave Jacobson (27% first back), he's worked her twice and brings her back at the purchase price.
2nd pick: #5 (Chance Encounter) (3-1) - Consistent sort (12-2-3-2) has finished second here in two straight at this level and speed/stalker is back in shape following a three month layoff. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (E Z Passer) (5-1) - Barn (Chris Englehart) scratched her out of the same May 12th race tht both "Dawn" and "Chance" ran in and she's since come back with a trio of excellent works. Veteran mare loves this surface (8-2-4-2) and is a threat with her best off a 4 month layoff.
4th pick: #2 (Silver Over Gold) (20-1) - Longshot has some back class annd is training fine for her first since April 14th. She's won here in the past and could grab a share at a big price.
5th pick: #1 (Jolienne) (6-1) - Nice effort last out saw her chase a fast pace and hold down the show spot late. Race was her first off a Dom Galluscio claim and a subsequent 8 week freshening. Mare is 3-for-5 on this surface, has early speed, and draws the rail.
