Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MATZO BELLA) (3-1) - A New York bred filly by 'Gio Ponti', she's dropping back down into a claimer and facing 'open' company after missing by a 'nose' going 6 furlongs at Belmont June 1 facing first-level state bred allowance foes. She has a flexibly style, positive local experience, and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #2 (Avocado Toast) (6-1) - This daughter of 'Big Drama' missed by a 'nose' at this level going 6 furlongs June 2 at Belmont. It was her first start since Feb. 14 and she should move forward off of it with Luis Saez staying aboard.
3rd pick: #10 (Alley to Calvary) (5-1) - Strong finisher rallied to finish third of eight, beaten 2.5 lengths going 7 furlongs June 27 at Belmont facing slightly tougher. Filly has a tough post but should be finishing fast as she cuts back in distance.
4th pick: #11 (Apreciate) (8-1) - A 4yo by 'Tiznow', she raced close up and held down the place spot in the same last race as 'Alley to Calvary' June 27. She was a 1/2 length better than that rival and is a threat if able to avid a wide trip.
5th pick: #4 (Andara Belle) (20-1) - Longshot moves back to the turf after tiring going 6.5 furlongs on the Belmont dirt facing slightly tougher June 23. French import was racing first off a Rob Atras claim and he adds blinkers, which presumably were in place when this 3yo blazed a bullet half-mile from the gate at Belmont July 6.
