Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MR LOUIS) (5-2) - Blinkers go on this colt who finished a distant 3rd when debuting May 27 at Santa Anita. Son of 'Broken Vow' is working fast for his second attempt and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Thirty Pepperonis) (4-1) - He's from the same barn (Doug O'Neill) as 'Mr. Louis.' Debuting colt sold for $50,000 as a 2yo in training this past April. Training above average, and O'Neill has his derby winning jockey Mario Gutierrez aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Cash Driven) (6-1) - He's working fast at Los Alamitos for his first start. In the barn of veteran Art Sherman, and this obscurely bred gelding should sneak away at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Declassfied) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Keith Desormeaux, and brother Kent is on this first-time-starter. The works are steady, but on the slow-ish side. His sire 'Bodemeister' had plenty of speed, so there are mixed signals showing.
