Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ROYAL CHARLOTTE) (7-2) - A lightly raced 4yo by 'Cairo Prince,' she won five of eight and enters off a 2nd place finish here June 5 in the six-furlong Harmony Lodge Stakes. The solid effort came following a 7.5-month layoff, and I like that Chad Brown brings her back on a quick turnaround.
2nd pick: #3 (Chalon) (3-1) - This hard-hitter was scratched here out of a stakes a few weeks back to await this spot. Unraced since Oct. 5, she has an outstanding overall record (18-7-7-1), is a multiple stakes winner, is 3-1-2-0 at Belmont, and has won off of layoffs in the past.
3rd pick: #5 (Come Dancing) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, she's won over $1M, is a multiple Graded stakes winner, and is 5-3-1-0 locally. Stalker is working fast for this attempt and is in the mix at a short price.
4th pick: #4 (Jakarta) (20-1) - Speedy sort has never beaten this type, but looks to be the main speed and may lead them a long way at a very big price.
