Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HOPES ROAR) (7-2) - One-run type rallied to finish second at this level and distance June 20 at Belmont. State bred broke her maiden on this course in late August and there's plenty of speed in this contest to make her late charge effective.
2nd pick: #6 (Hollywood Cat) (5-2) - Another state bred, she's racing first off a Jay Servis claim (an amazing 42% winning angle). Filly has been freshened up since May 31 when she won for a $40K tag going a mile at Belmont. An obvious contender.
3rd pick: #5 (Sweet Connie Girl) (9-2) - The lightly-raced filly was beaten only a length at this level May 25 at Belmont. It was her first facing winners and this $150K purchase is from the barn of leading trainer Chad Brown. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (English Dancer) (4-1) - Much improved of late, she's won two in a row, one each on dirt and turf at Belmont. Speed/stalker has the rail, fits on figures, and John Velazquez stays aboard.
