Top pick: #3 (ALEXANDRIE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, filly from the Pletcher barn is racing off almost a two month freshening. Working fast and she's cutting back in distance. She's won both turf sprints and can take this from on or just off the pace.

2nd pick: #4 (Vicky's Dancer) (4-1) - Veteran is racing first off a Dave Jacobson claim (a 28% winning angle). Stalker enters in good form, and former stakes winner enters off a pair of back-to-back sharp efforts on the Belmont turf. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Sister Sophia) (5-2) - Undefeated (2-for-2) filly has a strong closing kick and will need a fast and/or contested pace in order to make her stretch run pay off.

4th pick: #6 (Fenwick Hall) (10-1) - Stalker has good dirt form and did run well on the Belmont grass at this level June 7. It's possible that she can grab a share at a big price.

5th pick: #1 (All Mine Tonight) (8-1) - On the sidelines since Jan 1, she has a good record on the grass (6-2-1-1) and rallied to finish fourth here last year off a similar layoff. Castellano, who was aboard the last time she won, is back aboard.
