Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SWEETRAYOFSUNSHINE) (7-2) - Hard hitting older mare has won 11 of 19 starts when racing on conventional dirt. She's won two in a row, and her flexible style gives her a slight edge in her Belmont debut.

2nd pick: #1 (Novique) (3-1) - Very lightly raced 4yo filly ships from Gulfstream Park where she won two in a row going seven furlongs. Speed/stalker has the rail and should be involved from gate-to-wire if she handles this deep surface (aka 'Big Sandy').

3rd pick: #3 (Awesome News) (5-1) - She's one of two entered by trainer Rich Schosberg, and the pair race uncoupled. Very consistent speed/stalker is working fast here for her first since March 13. New York bred has been sharp in all three starts at Belmont without winning.

4th pick: #6 (Stormy Sky) (8-1) - You must 'throw out' her last start as she stood up in the gate when it opened. Very sharp in four straight prior to that, and she's a threat from off the pace.
