Top pick: #8 (BALLERINA BELLE) (3-1) - Strong finisher has gone 5-0-4-1 when racing on the grass in 2014. Last out missed by a "nose," going 5.5-furlongs at this level at Saratoga Aug. 30. The extra 1/16th she travels today is in her favor as is her post. The top pick, but make sure you reverse your exactas .
2nd pick: #9 (Scatcapade) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and the pair race uncoupled. Stretch runner was only a "neck" back of "Ballerina Belle" last out and she loves the Belmont turf (3-1-2-0). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Zindaya) (5-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced filly is the second from the barn of Chris Clement. Daughter of "More Than Ready" was an easy wire-to-wire maiden winner at Saratoga Aug. 29 in her first stat since Feb. 12. Very dangerous and must be left in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #10 (Gratitude) (6-1) - Filly by "Elusive Quality" broke her maiden here at this distance May 18th, then raced both wide and evenly two months later at Saratoga at this level. Stalker draws a nice outside post, is working well, and was only a length back of "Ballerina Belle" in her latest. Can factor at a square price.
