Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TEAM OF TEAMS) (10-1) - Speedy filly ships from Aqueduct where she finished second in a dirt sprint facing weaker Nov. 22. However, it was her first since May 20 and was no more than a condition race for this daughter of 'Elusive Quality'. She's stakes placed on the grass at this distance and won here March 12 in her first start in almost a half-year. Working fast, she has a solid shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #2 (Taperge) (4-1) - It wouldn't be a grass stakes without an entry by Chad Brown and this lightly raced daughter of 'Tapit' fits nicely. Home bred finished fourth in a $150K stakes at this distance Nov. 23 at Aqueduct and she went 3-1-1-1 here last winter/spring. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Lido) (8-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines for the past 2.5 months. Strong finisher has been in steady training at Palm Meadows Center and should be finishing fast. A clean trip from her inside post in this large field is essential.
4th pick: #3 (Ghostly Presence) (6-1) - One of three Woodbine based fillies entered, she's working fast on the deep surface at Payson Park for this attempt. Stalker just missed in a $125K grass stakes Oct. 22, then won a 7 furlong contest on the all weather surface there last out. Must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #6 (Flying Harmony) (12-1) - From the Pletcher barn, filly is lightly raced and broke her maiden on this course June 11. May grab a share, but at this point she would need a career best for anything more than that.
