Top pick: #2 (OLE BLACK MAGIC) (9-2) - Debuting filly hails from a good barn (Corale Richards) and had a bullet three-furlong gate breeze here on May 29. The trainer's main rider (C.J.Hernandez) is aboard, and he did have other options.
2nd pick: #1 (Snarky Belle) (12-1) - Longshot was never involved when debuting here on May 24. Filly by "Yankee Gentleman" moves to the rail, has Lasix added, and this $25K yearling purchase no doubt has more talent than shown in her first outing.
3rd pick: #5 (Miss Frances) (4-1) - She has some fine local works on view and all have been local. Trainer Kearney Segura has won with two of his last nine first-time-starters, and this grey filly must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Sawyer's Wonder) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Ricky Courville, and the pair race uncoupled. She ran evenly when finishing fourth of six in her debut on May 2, and can factor with normal second out improvement.
