Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (ENGLISH RHYTHM) - He's finished second in all three starts on the dirt and daughter of grass champ "English Channel" will move to the infield for the first time. Stalker finished second in a sprint on the main track just two weeks ago,her first off a 70-day break and is brought back quickly and stretched-out in distance. Bred to love turf racing and she's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Menta Be Perfect) - Bred to like the grass and this Ontario foal chased and "hung" a bit in the lane last out to check-in fourth at this level and distance. Race was off a 6 1/2 month layoff and daughter of "Perfect Soul" is a threat with any improvement.

3rd pick: #6 (Good Mango) - In shape speed/stalker finished second facing males on this surface in late November and that's been her only grass start in her eight race career. She finished third at this level in a dirt sprint March 27th and has a fine work since.
