Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (FOURSTAR CROOK) (2-1) - Strong finisher enters with three wins in a row on the grass. Filly won her seasonal debut at Belmont June 15 in her first since winning a pair last fall, one each at Belmont and Aqueduct. She's working steadily for this attempt and has beaten tougher groups in the past.
2nd pick: #4 (Dea) (6-1) - Even paced type has gone 10-1-3-3 on the grass and has finished close up in her last seven starts. 4yo has enough early speed to find a good spot early on and is dangerous, especially if 'Fourstar Crook' has a wide trip.
3rd pick: #2 (Deaming as Always) (10-1) - Longshot has early speed and is breaking from the rail. Mare has a fine overall record on the grass 8-3-1-2 and her early speed and god post should have her involved from start-to-finish at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (La Peregrina) (8-1) - Lightly raced daughter of 'Hard Spun' ships up from Monmouth where she was an easy maiden winner July 2. It was her first ever on the grass and this Pletcher trained filly has plenty of room for upside.
5th pick: #8 (War Tap) (8-1) - Much like 'La Peregrina', she ships from Monmouth where she broke her maiden on the grass at this distance June 19. Beautifully bred filly is working sharply and trainer George Weaver has Javier Castellano interested.
