Top pick: #7 (EASY ENDING) (5-1) - Price play did not break sharply racing at Aqu. when facing a bit weaker on April 21st, but did rally while very wide to finish fourth of eight, beaten just under a length. She has more speed that shown that day and trainer Rudy Rodriguez adds blinkers for this attempt. Like her chances in a "wide open" contest.
2nd pick: #5 (Sus Annmaries Gold) (2-1) - Undefeated (2-for-2) and untested, she's won from just off the pace in both starts and broke her maiden on this surface, at this distance when debuting on Oct. 7. Working fast at Fair Hill for her first since Nov. 9, and we'll find out alot more about this filly's talent level today. She could be stakes material.
3rd pick: #3 (Sing Dixie Sing) (5-1) - Speedy daughter of "Dixie Union" runs first off a Dave Jacobson claim (a 25% winning angle) and she'll be racing second back from a three month layoff. New barn drops her under the purchase price, but that's part of Jacobson's successful overall strategy, as few like to claim off of him.
4th pick: #6 (Jitney) (3-1) - On the shelf since late Dec., filly was in excellent form at that time and had gone 6-2-2-1 dating back to early Aug. at Saratoga. Trainer John Hertler has her working well for her return and speed/stalker is a threat if ready.
