Top pick: #5 (RAPPORT) - She really impressed in her maiden win here May 22nd as filly went wire-to-wire to win by just over 5 lengths. Race was her first off a 9 month layoff, first for trainer Bob baffert, and first on a synthetic surface. She's worked fast since and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Wenden) - Very competitive daughter of "City Zip" (4-3-1-0) just failed in her first on this circuit and first on a Synthetic after coming here from Turf Paradise. No reason she' won't be in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #1 (Our Road Scholar ) - Veteran always comes to run and has a fine overall record (32-5-8-6). Draws the rail and mare is a stretch threat, especially if the pace is fast/contested.
