Bet this race at Top pick: #10 (Tamahere) (6-1) - Reports are Tamahere is in fine form training very well. She comes off a second-place finish at Keenland in the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley at a slightly longer distance and is better suited for this 1-mile sprint. Tamahere won in her last trip to Belmont four races ago, taking the Sands Point in 1:35.21. That was her North American debut, showcasing a powerful turn of foot while sprinting to a two-length victory.
2nd pick: #2 (Sweet Bye and Bye) (12-1) - This versatile and veteran Filly keeps performing well, off an impressive win at Gulfstream Park in the Sand Springs Stakes. That was at 1 1/16 and she's been very good in 1-mile races, taking second place two races ago in the Marshua's River Stakes. In her last seven races at 1-mile or less, Sweet Bye and Bye has four wins, two second-place finishes, and one third place.
3rd pick: #6 (Pocket Square) (5-1) - Only the fourth outing for Pocket Square, but sporting two first-place finishes in the last three races for this four-year-old Filly from Britain. Pocket Square rested over the winter getting healed and healthy, winning the Allowance in April by over two lengths. She also pocketed a stakes win in the Gr3 Prix des Reservoirs at Deauville two years ago.
