Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (VICTORY ELEMENT) (2-1) - Home bred by 'Pioneer of the Nile' stretches out in distance after rallying to finish second when debuting here going 6.5 furlongs April 29. Trainer Bob Baffert wins at a 28% rate second time out and at a 31% clip on the distance increase. Colt will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Aurora d'Oro) (4-1) - Heavily bet (5-2) when debuting in the same race as 'Victory Element,' he tired late after battling for the lead through fast fractions. He's working fast, has blinkers on, and breaks from the rail. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #5 (Draft Pick) (5-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's been around two-turns in each and is working fsat for his first since March 8. Even-paced type must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Blaze of Glory) (4-1) - Colt rallied a bit when finishing a non-threatening third of six when debuting here in a sprint April 6. He may grab a share with a bit of improvement.
