Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (NOTED AND QUOTED) (8-5) - One of two entered by Bob Baffert, she was away slowly in her debut, but rallied to finish a very good 4th in a fine educational first attempt. Barn brings her back in 23 days, has worked her fast twice since, and the additional furlong she travels today should land her in the winner's circle.
2nd pick: #3 (La Vitesse) (4-1) - Very wide in her debut, she stayed until weakening in the final furlong. Filly was five lengths behind 'Noted and Quoted' that day and has worked very fast here since.
3rd pick: #4 (Fortunate Queen) (7-2) - The second of the Baffert pair, she's by 'Pioneer of the Nile' and is working steadily and above average for her debut. Baffert wins at a 19% clip first out, and Mike Smith is aboard.
4th pick: #7 (Cynthiana) (5-1) - One of two making their debuts for trainer Rich Baltas, she has some solid local works on view, and looks ready to be competitive first out.
