Top pick: #11 (GENTLE RIDE) - Speed/stalker makes her third start back from a layoff and will drop into a claimer for the first time. Barn (Linda Rice) won another yesterday and these turf sprints are her specialty. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2 (There I Go) - Daughter of "Hennessy" finished a close-up third at the Meadowlands last fall and hasn't run since. Has speed, draws the hedge, and is working steadily for the Pletcher barn.
3rd pick: #3 (Serela's Song) - Drops into a claimer and goes third off the bench for trainer Stanley Hough. Daughter of "Lion Heart" has raced evenly in her last pair and looks set for her best.
4th pick: #8 (Barbie's Girl) - Very game in "winning" last out, filly was subsequently disqualified for a late infraction (drifting out). Shortens-up and is a contender.
