Top pick: #1 (FLYING K C) (3-1) - She's been on the sidelines since late in Dec. of 2013. Speed/stalker was competitive in both turf starts early in her career, and they came facing tougher. Working averagely for her return, 4yo has a new trainer (Rudy Rodriguez 25% with new arrivals). She's dropping into a claimer for the first time and is the horse to beat with a trouble free break.
2nd pick: #12 (Krista's Persona) (5-1) - On the shelf since early Dec., she's working nicely for her new trainer (Gary Gullo). Filly has early speed and ran evenly in her only previous grass start. Win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #13 (She's Roman) (10-1) - Longshot ran evenly while wide racing here at this level and distance May 3. It was her first since late Dec., and she should move forward off of it. Price play.
4th pick: #8 (The Giant Is Lit) (6-1) - Her connections move her up in class and switch her from dirt to turf. Fried home bred rallied to finish a distant second in a small field (six) debuting on the Aqueduct main track for a $25K tag April 16. Bred for the grass, she may contend with some improvement.
5th pick: #15 (Sugar Mags) (8-1) - Lightly raced, she had no chance after 'stumbling' at the break here at this level and distance May 2. Blinkers go on and grey filly will be making back-to-back starts for the first time.
