Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ENDURING TOUCH) (3-1) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Michelle Nevin and the pair race uncoupled. State bred has a speed/stalking style and is dropping down in class for this attempt. Four-year-old set a quick and pressured pace before weakening to check in third last out when facing tougher. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Mastic) (5-1) - The second of a pair from trainer Michelle Nevin, filly has been competitive in four straight starts at or around this level. Last out she finished an even third here at this distance when facing slightly tougher. It was her second off a claim and her first at Belmont.
3rd pick: #7 (Is She Hot) (10-1) - Longshot has been very consistent over the past 18 months. She's gone 19-5-4-4 racing on the dirt and has a fine record here at Belmont 4-2-1-1. Stalker draws outside of the main speed types and should factor at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (Liberty Fuze) (4-1) - Mare set the pace before weakening to finish fourth last out. Veteran was a length behind 'Mastic' that afternoon, and in her previous start she was only a 1/2 length in back of 'Is She Hot.' Must be left under consideration.
