Top pick: #3 (RISK A CHANCE) - Not many New York-breds by the top sire "A.P.Indy" around and this home-bred has been working at steady intervals for his debut. Some of her works are very fast and she's in a barn (John Kimmel) that always does well with it's youngsters (21%). In fact he won just such a race on Opening Day here.
2nd pick: #4 (Yawkey Way) - Daughter of "Grand Slam" cost $165,000 and has been in training locally for the past two months. Works indicate that she has plenty of speed and filly is a win candidate first out.
3rd pick: #7 (Lady Maureen) - She's only one of two fillies entered who have started before and she showed excellent early speed that day. Filly held well for the place to an impressive winner and is brought back quickly for this attempt(14 days). Win threat.
