Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DEPUTY BERNARDINI) (7-5) - Colt was involved every step when missing by a 'neck' when debuting at this level June 24 at Santa Anita. Working fast since for the Baffert barn (26% second time out), colt will be very tough with a repeat of the figure earned last out.

2nd pick: #4 (Paddock Pick) (3-1) - Competitive in three straight, he's moving back to the dirt following a pair of narrow defeats going 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita turf. Capable on the main track, speed/stalker enters off a bullet half-mile drill July 14. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #5 (I Am the Danger) (9-2) - He missed by a 'nose' last out on the grass and was a 'head' in front of 'Paddock Pick. Lightly raced 4-year-old is clearly improving and must be left in the mix.
