Top pick: #4 (EARLY GLORY) (8-5) - The probable favorite, filly enters off a pace-setting second place finish here at this level May 23. In shape, she's the main speed in here, but does have a stalking gear if necessary. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Knight Spring) (4-1) - He's taking a much needed drop in class after tiring in a pair facing tougher. He won here at this tag March 31 to clear the 2l condition, and stalker draws a good post to save ground from.
3rd pick: #2 (Surprise Daydream) (5-2) - Very lightly raced mare has won two in a row since coming back from a 3-month break March 14. She has a speed/stalking style, but her 'figures' are a bit on the light side. Needs to do a bit better in this spot.
4th pick: #3 (Farrest Rim) (10-1) - This is seventh attempt at this 3l condition. Mare was 8-back of 'Early Glory' last out in her first back from a 4 1/2 month layoff. She should improve today, but believe a minor award is her ceiling.
