Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SWEET ELLA) (4-1) - From the Pletcher barn, $275,000 daughter of 'Scat Daddy' is stretching out a bit in distance. 3yo raced both wide and evenly here to finish a close up 5th going seven furlongs at this price tag May 29. Working steadily on the Saratoga training track, she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Ellie Girl) (6-1) - Lightly raced filly was only beaten 2.5 lengths here at this tag going a mile June 15. She had all sorts of problems just out of the gate and was forced into a very wide trip. She has more speed than most, and her trainer (Jay Servis) is having a dream meet (31-11-5-7).
3rd pick: #2 (Dean's Ticket) (8-1) - Filly may be the main speed in this spot. She's had wide trips in three of her last four and wasn't beaten much in any of those. Working fast at Saratoga, and it's of interest that Irad Ortiz, Jr. gets aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #3 (Mo's Ginny) (7-2) - Grey daughter of 'Uncle Mo' drops in class after a wide and even effort here racing for a $75K tag June 18. It was her second back from a 6.5-month layoff, and she should offer whatever she has in this spot.
