Top pick: #2 (BRIGAND) - One of two entered here by trainer Bob Baffert and the pair race as separate betting interests. This New York-bred colt ships back from Belmont where he set a fas pace and held to finish second going 7 furlongs in s state-bred stakes. Speedy sort stretches-out, is working fast, and draws near the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Jaycito) - The second of the Baffert pair, he's been freshened-up since a sub-par effort on May 5th in a (G2) stakes at Hollywood Park. Has back class, is working fast, and has beaten better that these in the past. Colt completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #4 (Oilisblackandgold) - He has a strong closing kick, but the Baffert pair are much stronger win candidates. Capable of grabbing a share with a late run.
