Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TIZANILLUSION) (2-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old enters off a 'nose' loss at this level going six furlongs at Belmont July 1. Stalker is working fast, has the rail, and is shortening up a 1/16th of a mile. Gets the edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Wildcat Belle) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate, filly is racing on the grass for the first time. Lightly-raced, she was a very easy seven-length maiden winner going six furlongs on the Philadelphia Park dirt June 27. Bred to handle the turf, leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard.

3rd pick: #6 (Cosmic Tale) (4-1) - Grey 4-year-old raced both wide and evenly when finishing third, 1.5 lengths in back of 'Tizanillusion' July 1 at Belmont. It was her first since Nov 18 and stretch runner should receive a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.

4th pick: #7 (Rio Vista) (6-1) - Another that's lightly raced, she has early speed and went wire-to-wire at Belmont June 22 going six furlongs for a $40K tag for her maiden win. Working well above average and she can factor at a square price.
