Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SCUDERIA) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding stretches out in distance following a pair of back-to-back second place finishes at this level going 6.5 furlongs at Santa Anita. Working fast, Bejarano stays put, and blinkers go on.
2nd pick: #9 (Langham) (9-2) - Debuting colt cost $460,000 and is working way above average for trainer John Sadler (19% first out). This is a tough distance for a horses's first start, but his a.m. drills are too good to ignore.
3rd pick: #5 (Airlite) (7-2) - He's finished third in both starts going shorter and was beaten by 'Scuderia' in each. However, he was only a 'neck' behind him June 5 and he should enjoy thus longer distance
4th pick: #3 (Aztec Warrior) (12-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since Jan 2. He raced evenly that day and it's noted that he received betting support in both attempts. In the O'Neill barn and can factor at a big price if ready.
5th pick: #7 (Jagger Swagger) (10-1) - Stretch-out sprinter has early speed and was in a reasonable distance at the finish last out to both 'Scuderia' and 'Airlite'. Dangerous if he gets an easy early lead.
