Top pick: #4 (SEAMLESS) - Home-bred filly by the successful stallion "Arch" raced evenly in her first two starts, both on the local turf course going around two-turns. Well backed at the windows in each trainer Chris Clement has her training fast on the deep dirt surface at Payson Park and he'll cut her back in distance and try her on the main-track here for the first time. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Preachinthestreet) - Dangerous rival showed good early speed when debuting last July at Belmont Park. Trainer Seth Benzel adds the "hood" this afternoon off almost a 10 month layoff and he wins at a solid 26% rate with 2nd time runners. Barn is 4 for 7 at this meet and this home-bred by Street Cry is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Hurricane Barb) - Daughter of "Proud Accolade" raced evenly here two weeks ago in her first race in 7 months and first off a trainer switch to Lynne Scace. She probably needed that race and can factor today if she improves off of it.
