Top pick: #3 (BETTERWITH BOURBON) (9-2) - Lightly-raced filly takes on winners for the first time following a maiden win here April 30 going 6-furlongs for a $7,500 tag. Good barn (Keith Dsormeaux) has her conservatively spotted in her first facing winners. Home bred had a bullet half-mile breeze here June 2 that suggests she remains sharp.
2nd pick: #1 (La Justice) (4-1) - Grey filly is dropping in class and shortening up a bit in distance. One-run type has some back class to call upon and breaks from a ground saving post. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Miracle's Yankee) (12-1) - Freshened up since Feb 11, stalker is dropping down to a new low in her return. From a winning barn (Brett Brinkman), she has good breeding and is a strong win candidate.
4th pick: #12 (Rootie Toot) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced, she rallied from close range to break her maiden here April 23 going 5-furlongs. She draws a nice outside post for her style and can factor at a big price.
5th pick: #11 (Beautiful Music) (8-1) - Another entering off a maiden, she did so here May 9 at this 5-furlong distance. She hasn't broken sharply in either start and can't afford that early miscue again this afternoon.
