Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (BIG BIRTHDAY) (5-2) - Filly is one of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race as separate betting interests. $575,000 daughter of 'Mineshaft' raced evenly when finishing third at this level going 6 furlongs at Belmont June 30. It was her first since debuting Oct 1 and she draws a fine outside post at this 7-furlong trip. 3yo gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Mybigitalianfriend) (5-1) - The second of the Brown trained fillies, she showed some early speed when finishing fourth when debuting at Belmont June 7. Brown wins at a strong 28% second time out and he's worked this daughter of 'Union Rags' five times in the past month.

3rd pick: #8 (Ascot Walk) (6-1) - She ran close up before checking in third when debuting June 7 at Belmont. Shadwell home bred was a 1/2 length in front of 'Mybigitalianfriend' and is from a barn (Kiaran McLaughlin) that wins at a 21% clip second time out.

4th pick: #5 (Golden Award) (7-2) - Freshened up since May 31, home bred has some very fast works showing for her return. She finished a non-threatening second last out in a small field (5) going longer at Belmont. Daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' may be competitive in this shorter contest.
