Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LA MONEDA) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and consistent mare moves up in class following a win here at this mile trip facing weaker June 9. She's now 3-of-5 on the grass and has a recency edge on the probable favorite #8 'Dancing Breeze'.

2nd pick: #8 (Dancing Breeze) (2-1) - Irish import has been on the sidelines since finishing second in a $150,000 stakes Nov. 23 at Aqueduct. It was only her second start in No. America and a career best overall. Four-year-old has been working way above average at the Fair Hill Center in Maryland and trainer Graham Motion wins at a solid 20% rate off of long layoffs. It's noted that Mike Smith, who is for the day takes the mount.

3rd pick: #7 (Designing) (8-1) - Very lightly-raced 3-year-old has breezed here a half-dozen times since May 12 for her first start since Jan 6 at Gulfstream. The main speed, daughter of 'Mizzen Mast' will take them as far as she can at a big price.

4th pick: #4 (Sweet Sting) (4-1) - Another lightly-raced 3-year-old, Stronach home bred has been freshened up since finishing third in a $100K stakes April 22 at Aqueduct. She breezed a bullet 5 furlongs here June 16 and has plenty of room for upside.
