Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (IPRAY) (2-1) - Lightly raced filly is stretching out in distance while racing with blinkers on. Home bred finished a distant 3rd in her debut following a slow start, then rallied to check in 4th while racing 6-wide last out. Trainer Phil D'Amato is having a great year and he wins at a 29% rate adding blinkers and at a 25% clip on the distance stretch.

2nd pick: #3 (Not Tonight) (5-1) - Another sprinter that's stretching out, she's racing first off a Ricky Agarie claim (2 for his last 6). She's shown some speed going shorter and is dropping to a new low in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (West Coast Storm) (6-1) - Yet another that's attempting a two-turn trip for the first time. Filly has been bet in all four outings and is working fast for this appearance. Has a shot at a square price.

4th pick: #4 (Chicago Angel) (7-2) - Grey filly is racing back into shape after coming off a year's layoff in early March. She improved noticeably May 7 when she rallied to finish 3rd at this level and distance. Unlike the top three picks, she has a lot of experience at this two-turn trip. Stretch threat.

5th pick: #6 (Christiana's Mirage) (6-1) - Barn gives her a much needed class drop after a series of even and non-threatening efforts facing tougher. May grab a share from off the pace.
