Bet this race at Top pick: #1 (Lady Rocket) (5-1) - At seven furlongs, it's about speed, and Lady Rocket has it along with the No. 1 pole. This horse has won two of three at seven furlongs, running away with the Pumpkin Pie at Belmont in October. In addition, two races ago, Lady Rocket was the favorite at the one-mile Go For Wand Handicap and easily won, finishing nine lengths ahead of Bella Vita.

2nd pick: #2 (Just One Time) (3-1) - This horse is in fine form, winning back-to-back seven-furlong races in the Grade 1 Madison Stakes and the Inside Information Stakes. She got off slowly at the Inside Information before advancing four-and five-wide around the turn, then she picked up her first career Grade 1 Madison Stakes moving from eighth in a nine-horse field to pull the upset.

3rd pick: #7 (Edgeway) (4-1) - The graded stakes-winning daughter of Competitive Edge has won two straight. Edgeway has great speed, but she has been more comfortable under seven-furlongs. The two times she ran seven-furlongs, Edgeway finished second each time.
