Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (JAX) (5-2) - Filly is racing first of a two month break and off a private change to leading trainer Chad Brown. When last in action, she set a pressured pace facing male rivals and held gamely to finish a close up third sprinting on the Gulfstream grass June 26. She's back in with her own sex, drops down, and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Late Night Kiss) (6-1) - One of several making their debuts, filly has a pair of back-to-back bullet three furlong works from the gate. Capable barn (Gary Contessa) has Castellano aboard.

3rd pick: #4 (Honor Way) (7-2) - Another making her debut, she's been in steady training locally since late June. In the Pletcher barn (20% first out) and John Velazquez is aboard.

4th pick: #5 (Arella Rockstar) (12-1) - Longshot has some above average works showing and her trainer (Ralph Nicks) wins at a 21% clip with debuting stock. A bullet half-mile breeze at Belmont June 30 suggests this filly may be ready, and at a big price.
