Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (WISHFUL STAR) - Lightly-raced filly from the fine turf barn of Angel Penna Jr. She was very impressive winning a five-furlong turf sprint on April 18 and she should have litle difficulty handling an extra 1/8th of a mile today. Tainer spots them where they can win, being successful at a phenomenal 44% rate with repeaters.

2nd pick: #6 (Fiona Freud) - She finished a close-up second on May 16 her first race in just over seven months. Consistent sort has finished "in the money" in eight of her nine turf starts at this six-furlong distance.

3rd pick: #5 (Green Harbor) - In-shape dirt sprinter has run strongly in four straight races. Has a shot at a square price if she takes to the turf in her first race on the infield.
