Society Selection...Didn't show much in seasonal debut but followed up with a big win last time and that seems to indicate she's in top form.
Ashado...Like the top pick her first of 2005 was a dud -- but follow-up showed improvement.

Don't Get Mad...Dominating performance in the Derby Trial. Came back a week later to run well in the Ky Derby. Off since but looks well-spotted in this field.
First Word...Come out of wins in MSW and NW1 against older and sports a bullet work on 6/12. The one to beat.

Rich In Spirit...Seems ready for a good one and this trip should suit her. Post position is a concern but has a nice run to the first turn to work with.
Sweet Talker...Nipped top pick two back but that one gets the nod on stronger jock/trainer combo.
Cape Hope...Was undefeated on turf until last time. Tough if she rebounds to prior form.
Insan Mala.

Ran 1-3-6-8.
Badge of Silver...Dicey proposition in here as this three in here -- including this guy -- seem to like the lead. But if we go back to the swiftly run Hal's Hope we see this can stalk if necessary. Let's hope Bailey can be patient onboard today.
Saint Liam...Another that likes the front-end -- hey, if we could find a closer that looked as classy as these two we'd jump on, but the fact is these guys look tough -- unless an early duel develops. We won't know that until the gate opens.
Perfect Drift...Could be the one to come running late -- but his bridesmaid status in top events last year leaves us leery of using him on top.
