Top pick: #1 (VATA) - She's been a model of consistency all season (9-0-6-1) and is poised today to pick up her first victory of the year. Speed/stalker has her main rival just to her inside and can put the presure on that mare at any time. The top pick. She's coupled in the wagering with "Pine Island Girl".
2nd pick: #2 (Ben's Grand Babe) - Claimed two back by Steve Klesaris mare chased a fast pace in her first start for him and tired slightly to finish third. Draws the rail and she's the main danger.
3rd pick: #8 (Last Indian) - The probable pace-setter has won two of her last three and is still improving. However, the top pair are much better suited as win candidates.
