Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HONOR WAY) (3-1) - Veteran mare rallied to finish fourth at this level and distance July 17 at Saratoga. She was bumped at the break that day in a contest where both the winner and the third place finisher both won next out. 5yo races first off a Charlie Baker claim and she's done some of her best work at Belmont 5-1-2-1.
2nd pick: #2 (Pauseforthcause) (9-5) - The class of the race and also the main speed, she's been on the sidelines for the past two months. New York bred was competitive in a pair at this level early in the year at Aqueduct and is a strong win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #6 (China Rider) (10-1) - Mare rallied from far back to win a $50K 'off the turf' sprint at Saratoga on a sloppy surface Aug. 21. She's capable of rallying for a share, but the projected soft pace today does not favor her style.
