Top pick: #1a (SECRET SCORE) (5-2) - Speedy filly has been freshened up since early March after finishing third in a starter-allowance at Laurel. Working well at Delaware Park, trainer Scott Laker drops her down to a level she's been successful at in the past.
2nd pick: #3 (Prestons Princess) (5-2) - Texas bred comes off a career best when she went wire-to-wire here at this tag to clear the 2l condition April 14. Capable of running a sub :46 half, and that should have her in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #5 (Garmentos Girl) (3-1) - She was away "slowly" last out facing tougher and raced evenly once in stride. Filly by "Indian Charlie" runs third back from an eight week freshening, drops to a new low, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (X Country Girl) (8-1) - Consistent sort has gone 3-1-2-0 since shipping from Kentucky last fall and moves up in class after defeating weaker March 24. Speed/stalker needs to step it up a bit in this spot.
