Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SHARP STARR) (5-2) - Homebred had an extremely wide trip when finishing 8th of 11, missing by 7.5 lengths while sprinting here at this level June 12. It was her first since a pair of solid efforts at Aqueduct before Covid-19 suspended racing in New York in mid-March. She moves off the rail, stretches out to a mile, and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (La Kara Mia) (7-2) - Another homebred, this daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' hit the gate at the break, then made a good run before fading late when debuting here in a grass sprint on June 4. Well backed that day (5-1) in a 12-horse field, trainer Linda Rice wins at a 26% rate second time out, and she stretches this filly out in distance 27%. 3yo is dangerous today.
3rd pick: #6 (Calidad) (3-1) - Nice debut March 14 at Aqueduct saw this filly rally to finish 2nd of 11, beaten by six lengths going six furlongs at this level. Given a three month break, she was very wide last out in the same June 12 contest as 'Sharp Starr' and was a long 'neck' in front of her at the finish. Another going a longer distance, she's making back-to-back starts for the first time. In the mix.
