Top pick: #4 (CHICK IN SLACKS) - Consistent turf performer has raced evenly in a pair facing tougher since breaking her maiden here May 9 when she did so facing winners. Drops off a pair of starter allowances and she faces a weak field for this tag. The top pick in a competitive race.
2nd pick: #7 (Australis Princess) - New York-bred has shown good improvement in her last pair following a claim by trainer Greg DiPrima in mid-April. Has stalking ability and the pace here looks like a slow one, so that positional advantage should lead to a big effort.
3rd pick: #6 (Playa Bonita) - California-import has no early speed but will be dropping into a career soft spot following a second-place finish last out at Monmouth racing for $35K. Effort came in her second back off a short layoff and Dominguez is signed on this afternoon. Stretch threat.
