No. 3 Neecie Marie (4-1) was part of the exacta in all but one of her six turf starts. Flavien Prat hops aboard the sharp, versatile filly, and she captured all three of her starts at 1 1/6 miles on turf. 

No. 12 Heavenly Sunday (7-2) is a consistent turf performer for Brad Cox. She wired the field in the local Edgewood Stakes on May 5, and exits a runner-up finish in the Grade 3 Valley View at Keeneland. She should impact the pace from the outside post under Florent Geroux.

No. 10 Watch This Birdie (8-1) usually runs her race from off the pace in turf routes. She likes this distance and is 2-for-2 at Churchill Downs.
