Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (DRESS REHEARSAL) - Lightly-raced daughter of "Galileo" has been freshened-up by trainer Bill Mott after a disappointing third-place finish at Keeneland April 23 in the "Bewitch" S.(G3). Race was her fourth in three months and maybe she was just a bit "flat." Can win this if she brings her "A" game.

2nd pick: #2 (Belle Allure) - Her win here May 21 came in her second U.S. start and first in five months. Irish-bred and French raced, she was in several races in France with the great "Zarkava" (possibly the best filly in the past 20 years in Europe). Has some quality and still has up-side. Don't dismiss.

3rd pick: #3 (Criticism) - Probable pace-setter has done admirably against lesser but will find this field not as easy to "wire." Looking for five out of her last six today, but she'll need to do a bit better.
