Top pick: #3 (MY DANCE PARTNER) - There's very little speed signed-up for this $16,000 claimer and that makes this filly the top pick. She tired last out in a starter-allowance on the main-track in a race that came "off the turf." Her previous try saw her just fail to hang on at this tag going this distance on the turf. She cut solid fractions that day and was out-finished by a 1/2 length. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Moon Spark) - Mare by "Malibu Moon" finished close-up in a starter-allowance on the Atlantic City turf May 1 and has run well in a pair of main-track starts since then. Has the inside advantage and believe she'll do well in this spot as she moves back to the turf.
3rd pick: #9 (Sprig of Lilac) - Much improved mare has really picked up her game since a trainer switch to Alan Bedard in late March. Consistent speed/stalker on the dirt has only raced once on the turf in a 30 race career. Too sharp to ignore.
