Top pick: #1 (MY LUCKY LIEU) (5-2) - Home-bred ships from Aqueduct in shape and has gone 5-1-2-1 since late Nov. She has the rail, a stalking style, and daughter of "Read the Footnotes" will be tough if she brings her form with her.
2nd pick: #2 (Michonne) (5-1) - Price play stretches out in distance after finishing second here in a sprint facing weaker April 19th. It was a career best from a figure standpoint and was her first for trainer Mike Ferraro.
3rd pick: #3 (Very Precious) (2-1) - In the barn of local powerhouse Chris Englehart, filly broke her maiden at this trip on April 9th at Aqueduct. Home-bred has been improving for some time now and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Promise Me Forever) (5-1) - She raced both wide and evenly in the same last race as "Michonne" and was 5 1/2 back of that rival at the finish. She stretches out in distance and has proven that she likes traveling farther. Stretch threat.
