Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MR PUCCI) (7-5) - NEW gelding has been on the sidelines since early June when he missed by a 1/2 length racing here at this level and distance. Working very fast for his return, 4-year-old by 'Malibu Moon' only has two serious looking challengers.
2nd pick: #2 (Mighty Mousse) (8-5) - He has a recency edge on 'Mr Pucci' as he was beaten a 'nose' here facing Calif bred special weights Jan 17. It was his first start since Sept 6 of 2014 and he was beaten in the last stride. Trainer Bob Baffert brings him back quickly and has him facing 'open' company.
3rd pick: #1 (Ketos) (3-1) - $210,000 son of 'Stormy Atlantic' is another returning from a long layoff (late March). He finished second that day and was involved from start-to-finish. His work are steady and above average and he must be left in the three-horse mix.
