Top pick: #3 (TRANSPORTATION) (5-2) - Pin Oak home-bred finished second when debuting on the Tampa Bay Downs dirt on Feb. 14, going 7 furlongs. On the sidelines since, daughter of "Giant's Causeway" has been working sharply at both Keeneland and Fair Hill on similar surfaces to this and trainer Graham Motion looks like he has her set for her maiden win.
2nd pick: #7 (Holy Hearty) (3-1) - Speedy daughter of "Lion Heart" is 4-0-3-1 locally and has a recency edge on the top pick. 3-year-old should be involved every step and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Gracee Goo) (4-1) - Daughter of "Belong to Me" ships in from Indiana Downs where she finised third on a sloppy track at this level May 11th. She set a pressured pace, held well, and will be racing on a synthetic surface for the first time.
4th pick: #6 (Sister Kathy) (8-1) - Debuting filly has been in training at Tampa Bay, Thistledown, and in her latest work, she went a fine 5 furlongs from the gate here five days ago. Trainer Timm Hamm is having a strong meet and this 3-year-old can factor if ready.
