Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FINE INSTINCTS) (4-1) - Well bred filly is racing second back from a pair of short layoffs. She finished fourth here at this level and distance Jan 1 and did so despite a less than ideal trip. Gets a very slight edge in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #6 (Que Chulo) (7-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Bernardini' set the pace and held to finish second to her coupled in the betting stable-mate Jan 1. She was a bit over a length clear of 'Fine Instincts' and is an obvious contender.
3rd pick: #1 (Bear It) (5-2) - Filly just missed in a large field (12) when racing at this level on the Turfway Park synthetic surface Dec 13. A strong effort, it was her first since checking in third when debuting April 10 on the main track here. Speed/stalker has worked fast at Belmont since coming east, draws the rail, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. In the win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Froyo Star) (3-1) - She split 'Que Chulo' and 'Fine Instincts' Jan 1 in her first since debuting last April. Her lack of early speed is a concern, but she's had legitimate excuses in her first two attempts.
