Top pick: #1 (SWEETER TWITTER) (7-2) - Speedy mare stretches out in distance for her first start since early March. There's not a lot of other pace signed on and that may allow this veteran to control the tempo from start-to-finish.
2nd pick: #5 (Sweet Ide) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's dropping in class and switching from grass to dirt for trainer Keith Desormeaux. Back in shape following a 100 day break last fall and she's an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Rock Elle Ten) (6-1) - She moves up in class and mare enters off a solid second-place finish here when facing weaker April 19th. Back in shape after a pair of layoffs and it's a positive to see her stringing starts together.
4th pick: #8 (Ronda Michelle) (4-1) - Filly is from the same bar (Keith Bourgeois) as "Elle" and the pair race uncoupled. She was an easy winner here facing weaker April 10th in her first since Feb. 20. Claimed out of the win by Bourgeois and filly must be left in the mix.
