Top pick: #7 (MISS LAUREN ANN) (7-2) - Mare ships in from Penn National where she won an entry-level allowance for fellow Pa. breds at this trip on the dirt May 22nd. Much improved since being claimed by Jamie Ness for $16K in late March, 5-year-old has gone 4-1-1-2 racing here in the past.
2nd pick: #8 (Granny's Drink) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced, grey filly ships in from Thistledown where she was an impressive maiden winner April 27th. It was her first since early fall when she was competitive in both starts at Laurel, one each on dirt and turf. Speed/stalker has plenty of room for upside and worked a quick 5-furlongs here May 27th. Price play.
3rd pick: #5 (Unflinching) (4-1) - Veteran rallied to win 'going away' here racing at this distance for a $16K tag May 17th. It was her second back from an eight month layoff and she was claimed that day by Dale Capuano. Strong finisher moves up in class but is a threat despite that fact.
4th pick: #1 (Happy Face) (3-1) - Home bred mare ships in from Penn National where she finished second of five, beaten a length May 15th racing at this level and distance. No-speed type makes her local debut and first ever on a synthetic surface.
