No. 3 Lisa’s Vision (5-2) was second best in her turf sprint bow April 22, and she attended the pace and scored easily at seven panels June 4. She figures to press inside runner Solib and might get first run under that scenario.
No. 4 Classic Lynne (4-1) makes her first start since an unplaced effort in the Maid of the Mist last fall. She looked good in her turf route maiden win before that and could easily return running.
No. 5 She’s a Mia (7-5) graduated second time out last fall, and she landed the place in all three starts since. Joel Rosario wins races with Christophe Clement, and she should be right there at the finish if she maintains form.
No. 2 Dufresne (8-1) completed the trifecta in a pair of stakes races last year and landed the show in a state-bred allowance affair at Belmont Park July 2.
No. 6 Dream Central (8-1) exits a 39-1 upset win in the Cupecoy’s Joy division of the New York Stallion Stakes at seven panels on turf June 19. That was her first win in seven outings, and her other speed ratings were much lower. She needs to prove that stakes surprise was no fluke.
