Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SNICKET) (5-2) - She's finished 2nd in both six-furlong grass sprints at Belmont and was probably best last out after having serious traffic issues late. This $400,000 purchase has enough speed to stay close up and should run them down in the final stages.

2nd pick: #7 (Magnolia's Lady) (7-2) - A daughter of top New York sire 'Freud,' she pressed the pace in the same July 3 contest as 'Snicket' and tired late to check-in 3rd, just a bit over two lengths behind that rival. Well backed that afternoon, she should factor in this spot.

3rd pick: #2 (Towering Gaze) (4-1) - Competitive in both starts, she was just under a length in back of 'Snicket' when debuting at Belmont June 4. In her follow up three weeks later, she tired late to miss by 4.5 lengths while going seven furlongs. She received good betting support in each attempt and should be involved from gate-to-wire today.

4th pick: #9 (Cake) (8-1) - A $100K purchase, she had a very wide trip when beaten by just under five lengths debuting at Belmont June 4. She's breezed here three times this month, and trainer Steve Asmussen has won with 53 of 242 (22%) second time out in 2019-20.
