Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (CURVY) (3-1) - English bred filly has improved a ton this year after showing little in three starts as a 2-year-old in 2014. Three-year-old daughter of 'Galileo' has won four of six in 2015 and ships west off a pair of strong tries in a pair of important Group 1 races. She'll be tough if she brings her form with her.
2nd pick: #1 (Stephanie's Kitten) (2-1) - Veteran is nearing the $3 million mark in earnings and this remarkably consistent mare is seeking a repeat in this G1 contest. Strong finisher likes this distance 5-1-3-0 and the wet course isn't a problem. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Watsdachances) (5-1) - Irish bred came to North America as a 2-year-old and has proven to be a solid stakes performer at all levels and distances. No-speed type was placed first last out at Arlington in the G1 Beverly D. Stakes and was a 'neck' better than 'Stephanie's Kitten' that afternoon. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #9 (Distorted Beauty) (20-1) - Long shot moves way up in class for this attempt. New York bred faces a tall task, but she likes it here at Belmont 5-3-1-1 and may grab a minor award at a huge price.
