Top pick: #9 (BREN'S FRIEND) - She's finished second in 9 of her 12 starts and has done so in five straight. Florida-bred haas a flexible style, has run well in all three local attempts (3-0-3-0), and ships in from Pimlico with rider Franklyn Boyce coming with her. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Starr Gate) - Claimed on April 16th by Keith Lebarron for $25K and he moves her up to face special weights off a 7-week freshening. Only a length off "Bren" earlier this year and Lebarron wins at a 19% rate off the claim.
3rd pick: #7 (Strike a Punch) - Also trained by Lebarron, and the two fillies race as separate interests. Grey daughter of "Two Punch" is working fast and will have blinkers added. Price Play.
