Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CEZANNE) (2-1) - One of two f1rst-time-starters from the barn of Bob Baffert, and both are well-bred and working fast. This son of 'Curlin' sold for a record $3,650,000 as a 2yo in training in March of 2019 at Ocala. He has the rail, Flavien Prat aboard, and Baffert has won at a solid 28% with debuting runners since Jan. 1 of 2019.
2nd pick: #2 (Brazen) (3-1) - The second of the Baffert pair, this son of 'Ghostzapper' has some fine works showing, including a bullet half-mile from the gate here May 7. The colt completes a strong hand from the 'Hall of Fame' conditioner.
3rd pick: #4 (Rayray) (7-2) - One of a pair of 4yos entered, he finished a pace-setting 2nd here going 5.5 furlongs at odds of 40-1 May 15. It was his first race since June 23, by far a career-best, and this gelding by 'City Zip' originally sold for $400,000, so there were expectations. In the mix.
