Top pick: #5 (VALKYRIA) (5-2) - Lightly-raced grey filly ships up from Tampa Bay Downs where she was a sharp maiden winner going 6.5-furlongs on the dirt April 24th. Win earned the highest figure any of these has reached to date and daughter of 'Value Plus' appears to have a bright future.
2nd pick: #3 (Frosty Girl) (4-1) - Another Tampa shipper, she was competitive in four of her last five there and had an excuse in her lone poor effort. Trainer Maria Bowersocks switches her from turf to 'poly' and shortens her up in distance.
3rd pick: #1 (Beach Splash) (8-5) - Undefeated (3-for-3) filly has won all three at Tampa Bay by going wire-to-wire. In a winning barn (Jay DaCosta) and an obvious threat if she handles the poly surface.
4th pick: #2 (Jiggin Witit) (10-1) - Very quick from the gate, she tired badly last out at Keeneland facing male rivals in a grass sprint. Back with her own sex, she's the only one entered with a win at Presque Isle.
