Top pick: #1 (STORMY ALLISON) (8-5) - Gulfstream invader ran evenly there in a pair on the turf to start her career. $150K daughter of 'Stormy Atlantic' showed vast improvement in her second start when stretched out to a mile. She has the rail, leading rider Gallardo aboard, and is the horse to beat in this small field.
2nd pick: #3 (Smart Cookie) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Smarty Jones' stretches out in distance after finishing a rallying third here at this level going 5.5-furlongs May 17th. It was her first since running second when debuting at Aqueduct Dec 4. An obvious threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Tactical Maneuver) (5-1) - Home bred exits the same May 17th local contest as 'Smart Cookie.' She raced both wide and evenly after breaking from a difficult outside post (11th of 11). She has some speed and had finished third in her previous pair on the Oaklawn dirt.
