Top pick: #2 (FREDAQ) (7-2) - Improving filly tracked, bid to the front, then tired late to finish third racing at this level and distance April 26th at Aqueduct. It was a career best and came in her first start with Lasix administered. She gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Celtic Sunrise) (4-1) - She's been away for 11 1/2 months, but is training well above average for her return. Daughter of 'Freud' rallied to finish third here wen making her debut that afternoon and is a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Outacypresshills) (6-1) - She enters off a career best at Aqueduct April 26th. Racing on the grass for the first time, filly by 'Big Brown' checked in a close up fourth and was less than a length behind 'Fredaq.' Can factor today at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Hope's Roar) (4-1) - Filly did not negotiate the first turn well last out and checked in fifth of nine, beaten almost six-lengths. The winner of that contest came right back to score again this past weekend and looks like stakes material. Trainer Bruce Brown replaces Wilmer Garcia with J.J. Castellano. Filly should contend in this spot.
