Top pick: #8 (STARSHIP PATRIOT) - Filly makes her first local appearance after facing tougher at tampa Bay this past winter/spring. 4yo daughter of "Trippi" has some early speed and goe today first off a trainer change to Franklin Brinkley. The horse to beat in a weak race.
2nd pick: #4 (Embur's Cigar) - Mare chased and held down the place spot here racing at this price on a sloppy track June 1st. Solid effort was her first since late Dec of 2001 and barn brings her back in 10 days. Can factor, but she'll need to avoid a possible "bounce".
3rd pick: #3 (Nuit de Angel) - Consistent sort (10-0-4-2) finished 2nd here on a sloppy track last out in her 2nd race off a 7 week freshening. 3yo would benefit the most if the pace was fast/and or contested.
