Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (CONSUMER CREDIT) (3-1) - A three times stakes winner, she's one of two that have been flown in by trainer Chad Brown for this $400K contest. Stalker has handle a 1 1/16th mile trip in the past and should have little problem going a 1/6th longer. Daughter of 'More Than Ready' has gone 6-4-1-0 on the grass and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Mrs McDougal) (5-2) - The second of the Chad Brown invaders, she's won two of three on the grass with ease and had a very wide trip in her lone defeat. Beautifully bred, she has a flexible style, and $450K daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Feathered) (7-2) - From the Pletcher barn, speed/stalker ships after winning a G3 stakes at Churchill May 1st. That was her first ever on the grass and $300K filly by 'Indian Charlie' has been successful from both on and off the pace.

4th pick: #2 (Spanish Queen) (2-1) - Locally based and lightly raced, she's a 'neck' shy of being undefeated. Filly has gone 3-2-1-0 and last out won the local Honeymoon stakes (G2) at this distance May 3rd. Must be left in the mix.
