Top pick: #5 (PEA STONE) - Shortens-up after pressing the pace for twice this price. Effort was her first on the turf and was her best to date. Daughter of "Smart Strike" drops in price by half and shortens-up two furlongs. The filly to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Gypsy Camp) - Has some speed, draws the hedge, and makes her 3rd start off a layoff. Dangerous runner from the Contessa barn.
3rd pick: #2 (Magnificent Truth) - Professional maiden moves back to the turf after a "horrible" try on a "muddy" track in a race taken "off the turf". Nibbler has faced better fields than this at this price and has enough talent to hit the exotics at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Nurse Kiki) - Drops after chasing the pace against maiden special rivals May 24th. She raced well last year in Chicago against "open" foes and wiil be making her 3rd start off a 9 month layoff and dropping into a claimer.
