Top pick: #1a (ANNATLANTIC) (8-5) - The probable favorite, she's finished second in two straight here at this level and distance and they came after she returned from a 6 1/2 month layoff. Well-bred filly meets another weak field and should get her maiden win this evening.
2nd pick: #5 (She's Paradise) (12-1) - Price play showed a bit of speed before tiring here at this tag on May 20th. Race was her first in eight months and with a slight move forward she could get a share at long odds.
3rd pick: #3 (Rustler) (4-1) - Lightly raced and well-bred, she's been on the sidelines since late January when she raced evenly at tampa Bay Downs. Prepared at Finger Lakes for her return, filly by "Holy Bull" will be racing on a synthetic surface for the first time.
4th pick: #2 (Choir Girl) (3-1) - Un-raced since early Oct., home-bred will dropping to a new low, shortening up in distance, and racing on a "poly" track for the first time. Her trainer (Jonathan Sheppard) trails only his good friend (Graham Motion) for leading trainer bragging rights at this meet.
