Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DREAM PASSAGE) (4-1) - This mare has improved dramatically since the spring. She's gone 6-3-2-0 since then with the last five of her starts coming against 'open' company. She has a speed/stalking style. a fine post to use it from, and is in career best form. Think she can cause a mild upset in the stakes.
2nd pick: #4 (Fifty Five) (4-5) - Veteran mare is seeking to win this race for the third year in a row. The morning line and probable heavy favorite will go over the $1M mark in earnings if successful. Competitive in all 21 lifetime attempts, she's won 10 of those and is 6-for-10 at Belmont. From the barn of Chad Brown and she's an obvious strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Munchin Money) (8-1) - Her latest effort is a toss as she was pulled up right after the break after tossing her head when the gate opened. Mare had won three of six prior to that and was only a length behind 'Fifty Five' in a one mile stakes May 27. In the mix.
4th pick: #9 (English Soul) (12-1) - Longshot enters off a good effort at Saratoga Aug. 23 when beaten 3 lengths facing similar. Filly was very 'hard to handle' that afternoon and had been much sharper in her previous pair. Speed/stalker can get a share of this at a big price with her best effort.
