Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PREACHER) (5-2) - Well backed when debuting June 2 at Santa Anita, the colt raced evenly after a very poor beginning. Blinkers are added, and this is rider Draydon Van Dyke's first mount at the meet.
2nd pick: #5 (Schrodinger) (3-1) - This son of 'Justin Phillip' sold for $550,000 as a 2yo in training this past March. Working very fast at Santa Anita, trainer Simon Callaghan wins at a 25% rate first out. Colt could win this if he runs to his a.m. drills.
3rd pick: #3 (Edelman) (5-1) - A $130K purchase, he's been in steady training at San Luis Rey for his first attempt. In the barn of Peter Miller (13% first out), this gelding must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Verified) (7-2) - A son of 'McLean's Music,' he had some traffic issues when finishing an even 3rd debuting at 4.5 furlongs June 2 at Santa Anita. He enters off a quick work June 2 and should factor here if he breaks sharply from his tricky inside post.
