Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (TUNWOO) (5-2) - Son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' is one of three first-time-starters. Working very fast for trainer Bob Baffert (34% with debuting stock), and those a.m. drills include a bullet 5 furlongs from the gate June 14 at Santa Anita.
2nd pick: #2 (Bahamian) (2-1) - He tired last out after pressing a quick pace going 6.5 furlongs June 9 at Santa Anita. $160,000 purchase was racing off a 7 month layoff and most likely need the effort. He's worked fast since, breaks just off the rail, and is dropping 7 lbs with apprentice Espinoza aboard. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #3 (Stop the Violence) (7-2) - NEW gelding hasn't raced since just missing in his debut May 12 of 2017 at Santa Anita. Working nicely at the San Luis Rey training facility and he's from a top barn (Peter Miller).
4th pick: #1 (Irish Spirit) (6-1) - Another making his debut, son of 'Curlin' sold for $310,000 as a yearling back in Sep of 2016. He enters off a big bullet half-mile from the gate June 25 at Santa Anita and should factor at a square price.
