Top pick: #1 (NOOR UN NISA) - Veteran mare ships in from Pimlico where she lost her rider at the break there in a grass race at this level May 9th. Very sharp prior to that, stalker has the rail, has three wins on synthetic surfaces, and holds a recency edge on her main rival.
2nd pick: #3 (I'am Toorific) - Un-raced since Sept 21, mare went 8-2-3-2 last year all going two-turns on 'poly' surfaces. Her local record stands at 12-4-4-3 and she's won off of long layoffs in the past. A strong win candidate if ready with her best.
3rd pick: #2 (Easter Service) - Pimlico shipper didn't show much in a pair of turf starts, but they came following a five-month break. No-speed type has run well here in the past and may grab a small slice with a late rally.
4th pick: #4 (John's Mariah) - She ships in from Mountaineer Park where she railed to finish second in a turf race May 3rd. It was her first since late Sept. and this mare has run well here in the past 4-1-1-1. In the mix.
