Top pick: #2 (ZENSATIONAL MERRY) (7-2) - Filly is stretching out in distance, going dirt to turf, and racing third back from a 2 1/2 month layoff. She has early speed and ran 2nd May 31 in a grass sprint in her only previous attempt on the lawn. She draws inside and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Sally Brown) (3-1) - Very lightly raced 5yo moves from the hurdles back to the turf for breeder/owner/trainer Jonathan Sheppard. This mare was competitive in two of three last year on the grass and is a strong win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #10 (Zig Zag) (5-1) - She hasn't raced since tiring last fall when debuting in a 7-furlong contest at Keeneland. Bred for the grass, she has a new trainer (Arnaud Delacour) who adds blinkers, stretches her out, and switches her to the turf.

4th pick: #6 (Alice's Girl) (8-1) - Even paced 3yo was only 1 1/2 lengths back of 'Zensational Merry' in her only previous grass attempt. Improving, and 3yo should enjoy this longer trip.
