Top pick: #3 (SO LONG JOHNY) - Mare by "Cat Thief" has the best early speed and has more wins on this surface (eight) than the rest of the field combined (six). It's a bit of a puzzle why they're running her so low today ($7500), but barn Gill/Adamo does this all the time. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Jovanna) - Daughter of "Minardi" won last out at Monmouth at odds of 1-10, sprinting clear and barely lasting. Lightly raced the past two years and she has a lot of back class. Hard to not consider a Richard Dutrow runner.
