Top pick: #7 (DREAMINGOFFIRST) (4-1) - Barn (Cathal Lynch) almost always has it's debuting stock well spotted and ready to run first out. He wins at a 25% rate with his firsters and this daughter of 'First Defence' had a bullet half-mile gate breeze May 13th. She meets a weak field and is listed at a generous 4-1 on the morning line. I think she'll be 2-1 or under against this group.
2nd pick: #4 (Valid Aim) (6-1) - Freshened up since Jan 15, filly has a bit of speed and is working well at Fair Hill. When last in action, she finished a pace-setting third going a mile at Laurel Jan 15.
3rd pick: #1 (Appealingmagic) (3-1) - She's the proven early speed of those that have run. Arkansas bred has been tiring when facing a steady diet of higher priced foes and is dropping down to this $12.5K tag for the first time.
4th pick: #6 (Sunshine Always) (7-2) - Her form has gone bad in her last pair following a trio of solid starts that would put her in this if repeatable. She has had excuses in those two sub par outings and was well backed in both. In the mix.
