Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SENSIBLE MYTH) (8-1) - Longshot ships from California where she tired in a dirt sprint at Santa Anita March 4. Daughter of 'Street Sense' had been competitive in her previous three grass attempts and enters off a pair of back-to-back bullet half-mile breezes here at Belmont.

2nd pick: #11 (Honored Promise) (9-2) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old set a quick pace while between horses before tiring to finish second at Aqueduct April 11 at this level and distance. Only her second start, it was her first on the turf and showed a big move forward off her dirt debut March 11 at Gulfstream Park.

3rd pick: #10 (Battle Joined) (6-1) - Daughter of 'War Front' has been idle since finishing a pace-chasing fourth here at this level and distance May 27 last year. She trained during the winter at Gulfstream and enters off a bullet half-mile gate work here April 27. A threat if ready.

4th pick: #5 (My Bronx Tale) (7-2) - Away since Sept. 24, she finished a pace-setting second here that day racing at this level and distance. A career best, it was her first on the grass and daughter of 'Speightstown' is another that can factor if in racing shape off the 7.5 month layoff.
