Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CONQUEST FAHRENHEIT) (8-5) - Fast and talented colt ships back from Churchill Downs where he tired late after setting the pace in the rich American Turf Stakes (G2) May 6. He still checked in a respectable fourth in what was a much stronger group than he faces today. $735,000 son of 'Scat Daddy' had won a pair of stakes on the local turf before that and is going to be very tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Fashion Business) (5-1) - English bred is the first horse by the brilliant 'Frankel' to race in California. Lightly-raced, he's moving up in class following a third place finish at this distance facing weaker foes May 18. Nearing his best, trainer Phil D'Amato has Bejarano aboard for the first time. Stretch threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Monster Man) (6-1) - He enters off a wire-to-wire win at this nine furlong distance May 18. It was accomplished in fast time (1:47 flat) and he defeated 'Fashion Business' by two lengths. Improving, he has the rail and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #9 (Sharp Samurai) (5-1) - He has talent and has improved noticeably since switching to the turf. However, he needs to avoid a wide trip from his outside post for anything more than a minor award.
