Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CONQUEST TIZFIRE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker missed by just under a length at this level going 6 furlongs at Belmont June 1. Favored in her follow up there in an 'off the turf contest' under similar conditions June 28, mare tired to finish third but had a legitimate excuse when she 'broke through the gate' before the start. Lightly raced 5-year-old will be tough to catch if on her best behavior.
2nd pick: #10 (Battle Joined) (7-2) - Four-year-old by 'War Front' is facing winners for the first time. She was a gate-to-wire going 6 furlongs at Belmont June 17 in her second back from an 11.5-month layoff. Working fast since, trainer Mark Hennig replaces Pablo Fragoso with Irad Ortiz Jr and this $500,000 purchase is dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (Really Proud) (4-1) - Competitive in four straight turf sprints, she raced wide when only a length behind 'Conquest Tizfire' last out at Belmont. Filly by 'Kitten's Joy' is a win candidate in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (La Naturel) (10-1) - Grey filly has gone 6-1-4-1 to date all sprinting on the grass. Stalker has the rail, is moving up in class, and is capable of getting a share if she holds her current form.
