Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CARINA MIA) (8-5) - Steady performer enters off a close up finish in Saratoga's G1 Ballerina Stakes going seven furlongs Aug. 26. Strong finisher has won here in the past and should receive a fast and/or contested pace to rally into. Daughter of 'Malibu Moon' gets a small edge here.

2nd pick: #1 (Highway Star) (2-1) - She loves it at Belmont and has won four of five starts here in the past. She was about a length in front of 'Carina Mia' last out at Saratoga, and this 4yo New York bred is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Quezon) (8-1) - Very consistent mare races with blinkers on for the first time. One run type loves it at Belmont (10-4-3-1) and is 6-1-4-1 at this distance. Can impact at a big price.
