Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (QUANIQUE) (7-5) - The probable favorite, filly has finished 2nd in two straight at this level and is racing first off a claim by Brad Cox. It's a positive trainer change, and this lightly raced stalker is the top choice.

2nd pick: #5 (Princessofthieves) (3-1) - Speedy filly has finished 2nd in three of five starts since coming of a seven-week freshening in early May. 4yo has been competitive in two of three at Belmont and should be involved from gate-to-wire.

3rd pick: #4 (Bright Side Up) (6-1) - Lightly raced, she's shortening up in distance, and does so with blinkers on. $100K purchase tired late to finish a close up 4th going a mile at this tag Aug. 25th at Saratoga. Can factor at a square price and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Mood Swing) (12-1) - Well bred and expensive ($230,000), she's racing third back from a 3.5-month layoff. Stalker has the rail, and I think she can grab a share of this at long odds with some improvement.
