Top pick: #1 (COSMIC DANCE) - By far this field's leading money earner ($425K) this veteran mare was a stakes winner earlier in her career and had a superb year in 2011 (11-6-2-0). 7yo kept busy over the winter/spring facing "open" company at Philly Park and went (6-2-1-2) during the past 6 months. Stalker loves the local surface, draws the rail, and she'll get a solid pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #4 (Blues Heir) - This is her favorite surface (14-5-1-2) and she proved it again a week when she went wire to wire facing $5K "open" company. In shape, the main speed, and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Readybdancing) - Strong finisher hasn't run since early November, but was in career best form at that time. Trained by the Chicago-based Terrel Gore this well-bred filly has been working in quick fashion for her return and will be closing fast.
