Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (JOANNIE) (7-2) - Well bred filly raced both wide and evenly when debuting at this level going six furlongs on the Belmont turf July 13. Working fast since, trainer Bill Mott has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard for this $525K daughter of 'Smart Strike's second attempt..

2nd pick: #3 (Fired Up Sensation) (3-1) - Home bred has been freshened up for almost two months. Grey filly ran third at Belmont, going a mile on the grass for a$75K tag June 18. Working fast locally, she's a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Athena's Aegis) (5-2) - Irish import finished close up in both starts this spring at Belmont. Working above average, she has early speed and trainer Tom Morley (three-for-seven at the meet) is adding Lasix. Dangerous today.
