Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CROATIAN) (2-1) - One of two first-time-starters from Bob Baffert, this son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' has some fast works from the gate showing at Santa Anita for his debut. Can take this with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #1 (Tale of the Knight) (3-1) - The second of the Baffert pair, colt sold for $325,000 this past March as a 2yo in training. He has some above average gate drills on view, breaks from the rail, and leading rider apprentice Evin Roman is aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (Colosi) (8-1) - Son of the venerable 'City Zip' cost $125,000 and has worked five times during the past month at Santa Anita. From a capable barn (Mark Glatt), this colt may factor at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Ima Take Charge) (20-1) - Longshot was never involved when debuting at Santa Anita June 25. He's brought back quickly by trainer Keith Desormeaux, and son of 'Take Charge Indy' worked a bullet half-mile July 8. May grab a minor award at a very big price.
