Top pick: #4 (ROYAL DELTA) (6-5) - Last year's older filly and mare champ has her final prep today for this year's "Breeders' Cup" and enters off a pair of G1 stakes wins at Delaware Park and Saratoga. Eased up at the finish of both wins, she's gone 3-2-1-0 on this surface in the past, and is 10-6-3-1 at this distance. Working fast and she's beaten better fields than this many times in the past. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Princess of Sylmar) (2-1) - Pa.-bred daughter of "Majestic Warrior" has moved to the head of the 3-year-old filly division and will be taking on older runners for the first time. She's won a three straight G1 contests and likes this distance (3-2-1-0). However, she's never raced at Belmont and the one-turn 1 1/8th is also new to her. Looks next best if she handles the surface.
3rd pick: #5 (Centring) (8-1) - Large and long-striding mare, she's done her best work on this surface (5-1-3-1), but Darley home-bred by "A.P. Indy" has proven no match for "Delta" in her last pair. She could factor, especially if "Sylmar" doesn't fire.
