Top pick: #5 (ZIMBABWE LADY) (5-2) - Speedy and lightly raced, she went gate-to-wire here at this tag going 5-furlongs April 7. It was her first start since Oct. 16th as she cleared the 2l condition that afternoon. Daughter of 'Jazil' runs off a private trainer change to Mike Pino (23% with new arrivals). 4yo is traveling an additional furlong today, but think she'll make it two in a row.
2nd pick: #6 (Gindini) (9-2) - Strong finisher has a good record racing on conventional dirt at other venues (7-2-1-2). Home bred was an easy winner at Charles Town on April 10 in by far her best overall since returning from almost a 6 1/2 month layoff Jan. 10th. Daughter of 'Bandini' is very dangerous in her local debut.
3rd pick: #1 (Candy's Luck) (3-1) - She's finished second in two straight here racing at this level. Stalker draws the rail and mare is an obvious threat with a repeat of either of her last two efforts.
4th pick: #3 (Bebe's Passion) (5-1) - Veteran mare is cutting back in distance for this assignment. She was a winner here at this tag going a mile April 14, then finished a distant and non-threatening third April 21 in her first attempt at this 3l condition. In the mix, but the top pair are more likely to win this.
