Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (GRASSARLA) (5-2) - Filly chased a quick pace and held to finish 2nd to a 'much the best' winner when debuting at this level and distance June 30 at Belmont. She received betting support and had the misfortune of hitting the gate at the break. Can take this with a 'clean' beginning.
2nd pick: #2 (Askfor Forgiveness) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she pressed the pace and held gamely to finish 2nd June 18 at Belmont racing at this level going a 1/6th farther. A career best, it was her first race in nine months. She's worked three times here since and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Pira) (20-1) - Longshot has early speed and is going turf to dirt while shortening up a furlong. Barn (Jim Bond) has been sharp with two of three starters in the first two days of the meet and that's a plus.
