Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DEPUTY BERNARDINI) (7-5) - The field's only debuting maiden, he's working very fast for trainer Bob Baffert (29 of 84, 35%) with first-time-starters over the past 17.5 months. This group is weak for the level, and he can go gate-to-wire with an alert break.
2nd pick: #6 (Flagstaff) (9-5) - He rallied while wide to finish 2nd when debuting here at this level May 18. Well bred and expensive ($475,000), he obviously has some issues as he did not start until almost 4.5yrs old. Despite that fact, he's a serious threat if 'Deputy Bernardini' isn't ready first out.
3rd pick: #3 (Lord Guiness) (6-1) - Away since Sept. 30, colt raced wide in both starts against the very talented runners. Working steadily, he enters off a sharp five-furlong gate drill June 17. He has the best chance of the remainder of this group to post a possible upset.
