Top pick: #3 (ITSMYHONOR) - Excellent debut saw this $310,000 daughter of "Indian Charlie" bet down to favoritism in a small field. She broke well, settled just off the lead, and made a bid to the front before holding down the place spot to a good looking winner. Trainer Mike Hushion brings her back in 22 days and 3-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Fire Assay) - Filly by "Medaglia d'Oro" ran a pace-pressing third at Aqueduct last fall when debuting for the Jimmy Toner barn. Working fast, and that includes a near bullet drill at Belmont July 10 (when 92 horses woked the half-mile distance). Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #5 (Malibu Cougar) - Longshot had problems in both races last season during this meet. Some of her recent works for her return are on the quick side and it's not often you get trainer Steve Asmussen at a big price.
