Top pick: #3 (MY SUNSHINE GAL) - She finished a solid second last out at Monmouth to the Pletcher-trained "Maple Forest" in a sprint stakes. She faces off today against a field with little other visible speed and think that jockey Rajiv Maragh will be instructed to put her right on top. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Strike the Moon) - She ships in from Maryland for this and will be going turf to dirt for a capable barn (Mike Trombetta). All three of her career wins have come on the dirt and she posted a 3-furlong bullet work after arriving here the other day.
3rd pick: #5 (Twice the Lady) - Filly was scratched out of yesterday's second race to await this spot. She drops down after a failed effort in a stakes last out and in her prior pair had been sharp. The presence of Dominguez is always a plus.
