Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (EQUALITYFORALL) (4-1) - Filly by 'Quality Road' sold for $775,000 as a 2yo in training back in April of 2016. Unraced that year, she's finished close up in both starts on the Belmont Park turf. Stalker is stretching out in distance for trainer Linda Rice (a strong 32% move by the barn), and she removes this filly's blinkers.

2nd pick: #8 (Silver Shaker) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. Grey filly has rallied to finish close up in both starts and has worked three times here since July 29.

3rd pick: #6 (Complicit) (5-2) - The second of the Chad Brown pair, this lightly raced filly is the morning line favorite. She rallied to finish 2nd at Belmont July 2 and was two lengths in front of barn-mate 'Silver Shaker' that afternoon. An obvious win candidate.

4th pick: #5 (Empress of the Nile) (8-1) - Longshot hasn't raced since May 10. In steady training here since mid-June, she's been sharp in three of four on the grass. It's noted that leading rider Jose Ortiz is signed on.
