Top Pick: #10 Nysos (4-1) - Flavien Prat will ride this speedy Bob Baffert horse, the son of Nyquist. Three races, three victories at one mile, 7 furlongs, and 6 furlongs. Nysos won the Bob Hope Stakes by 8 3/4 lengths the last time it ran 7 furlongs, also with Prat aboard.
2nd Pick: #2 Banishing (8-1) - Banishing has finished first or second in the last eight races. Banishing stepped up to a Grade 2 race for the first time at the Oaklawn Handicap the last time out and finished second to First Mission by two lengths.
3rd Pick: #7 Mindframe (3-1) - Stretched out to over a mile in the last four races, Mindframe still finished second twice while winning twice. At one mile or less, this speedburner won both times. He came off an eight-month layoff to win the Gulfstream Park Mile, as this is his 2025 debut.
