Top pick: #3 (KRUSIN KELLY) - Daughter of the grass loving "Artie Schiller" missed by a neck in her debut May 7th at Pimlico at this level and distance, then tired after pressing the pace in a two turn grass contest at Delaware Park. Latest (on the main track there) saw her press a very fast pace before weakening in the last furlong. She moves back to the grass, shortens up a furlong, and this home-bred is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Do So) - Home-bred filly by "Storm Cat" was bred to be much better than she is but should be competitive in this spot. Four-year-old has run third in two straight at this level and distance and draws the hedge post. Contends today.
3rd pick: #8 (Bett on Ruthie) - Unraced since late August, 3-year-old daughter of "War Front" was competitive last year in three of four starts, has some speed, is working nicely for this, and is bred to handle the grass.
