Top pick: #4 (GALIANA) (2-1) - She's won 8 of 13 starts for owner/trainer Rodolfo Romero and comes here from Delaware Park having won two stakes this year facing open company. Stalker should get a lively pace to track and has a solid shot at defeating the heavy favorite #6 "Willet."
2nd pick: #6 (Willet) (7-5) - The probable heavy favorite, she' gone 16-7-6-1 and earned just over $500K. One-run type has done well here in the past 4-1-3-0 and won the $100k "Union Avenue" stakes here last August at this trip. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Here's Zealicious) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, she's won 4-of-7 this year, all at this 6-furlong distance. Last out at Belmont she beat a good group in an allowance/optional claimer and was taken for $40K by Bruce Levine. Her early speed makes her dangerous.
