Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MIGHTY MOUSE) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he's working very fast for his first start since his debut at Los Alamitos in early Sept. of 2014. He finished 3rd that day and has been on the sidelines since. Grey colt is in the Baffert barn and is the likely winner if he runs to his am drills.

2nd pick: #5 (Nardo) (3-1) - NEW gelding has been absent since May 9 when he finished 3rd here at this level going a bit farther. Another that's working fast, and he looks set to contend off the 8.5-month layoff.

3rd pick: #1 (Diablo Caballero) (9-2) - Long time maiden moves back to the dirt after a poor effort here on the grass. Competitive at this level on the main track many times in the past, he has the rail, and can factor.

4th pick: #4 (Jazzie Cat) (4-1) - Away since March 28, 4yo missed by a 'head' here that day when debuting facing $30K claimers. Working fast, trainer Jeff Mullins moves him up in class for his return to action.
