Top pick: #1 (J AND S EXPRESS) (7-5) - Veteran mare enters in very sharp form. Old timer was a winner here at this tag and trip May 3rd and was claimed by Doug O'Neill that afternoon. Eight-year-old has beaten tougher than these recently, has the rail, and should pick up career win #9 in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Shy Rosa) (9-5) - The main danger, 'Rosa" was a winner here at this distance for a $14K tag May 17th. She cleared the 3l condition that day and is nicely spotted for her first facing non-conditioned foes. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Where Its My Mind) (7-2) - Very lightly raced, 3yo is taking on older foes for the first time. Speedy sort has been freshened up since Feb 14 and is training nicely for her return. This is a much tougher spot than she's faced up to this point, but her early speed gives her a shot.
