Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PROJECT LEADER) (8-1) - All eight starters in the race for 2yo Cal bred maidens are making their first starts. This longshot has some sharp works on view at Los Alamitos including a near bullet from the gate in :46.80 May 1. Think he has a solid chance at a big price.
2nd pick: #3 (Fast Enough) (3-1) - A home bred by 'Eddington', he worked a bullet half-mile here in :48.20 May 18, the best of 83 at the distance that morning. Capable barn (Raf Becerra) has won with 2 of 4 (50%) first-time-starters in 2018-19. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Bam Bam Again) (6-1) - This colt has worked here seven times since April 7 and he draws the rail. The inside post in these 2yo sprints is a plus if you break sharply, and a serious negative if you don't. Home bred had a sharp half-mile gate work May 9 and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Include the Tax) (4-1) - His works are on the slow side and are of the stamina building type. That said, he's from a good barn (Mike McCarthy) and he has Flavien Prat aboard.
