Best Bet – Race 5: Twirling Candy (PP: 6 ML 4/5)
Brad’s Comments:
“The 3-for-3 TWIRLING CANDY appears to have the Del Mar Derby at his mercy. He crushed modest foes in the Oceanside Stakes opening day, continues to train like a beast, and catches a field without an ounce of speed. If the race unfolds on the course like it does on paper, TWIRLING CANDY can fall into the lead, set the pace, and coast gate to wire at a short price.”

Best Bet – Race 6: Snowflake Obsidian (PP: 4 ML 7/5)
Chuck’s Comments:
“has done just about everything but win since running at this level after scoring a game maiden victory. Has three seconds, including a loss by a neck against similar in her return from seven nine months on the sidelines. Has worked well since then, although barn is only 1-for-12 in similar circumstances. Won’t take much improvement finally to pull off a win at this level.”

“is only one in green field to have finished in the money in last start for 2-year-old super trainer Ward despite slow beginning and wide turn. However, big drop in class and prior quick works indicate she can get away better.”

Dave’s Comments:
“settled for second as the 5-4 favorite when dropped to this price first out for current trainer, earning pace figure considerably faster than most of her rivals, six of which are New York-breds; newly blinkered filly rates extra credit if track is wet.”

Best Bet – Race 6: May Day Rose (PP: 9 ML 9/5)
Brad’s Comments:
“Bob Baffert has the favorite in both 2-year-old filly maiden races (3 and 6). MAY DAY ROSE is the obvious choice in this split of race 3.She set a blazing pace first out, but got worn down and finished second while more than six lengths clear of third. She earned pace and speed figures good enough to win most maiden races, and on paper she enters as a standout. Baffert is 1-for-9 with maiden-race favorites this summer.”

Best Bet – Race 5: Doubloon City (PP: 2 ML 4/5)
Chuck’s Comments:
“If there’s one thing DOUBLOON CITY likes to do, it’s win races. She has her share of problems, but running at these bottom claiming levels gives her a chance to strut her stuff against runners she’s competitive win, and then the desire to win takes over. She’s tough to pass late. Loves this track where she’s won 10 of 15 starts.”

Best Bet – Race 6: Serene Sophia (PP: 2 ML 7/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“a Giant’s Causeway half-sister to Santa Anita Derby winner Brother Derek, overcame a very tough trip to win her debut like a filly with quality. She was steadied and shuffled back to last soon after the break, circled rivals on the turn, lost ground rallying four-wide into the lane, then ran past the pacesetter late and won with something in the tank. It was a big win by a promising filly with two good works since raced. She looks like an up-and-comer for Bob Baffert, and can score right back as the most probable winner on the final Friday card of the season.”

Brad’s Comments:
“is either a standout “single” or a vulnerable favorite to bet against. The call is the former. He drops from $20k claiming to $12.5k, and though his fourth-place finish last out looks better on paper (he was never in contention as the 6-5 favorite), the fact is he is the fastest horse in the field, dropping aggressively in class by the leading stable, and he already has a win over the track this meet. But how low will his odds be.”

Dave’s Comments:
“was purchased after maiden & N1x wins last fall, returned with sharp score under Velazquez, and then set strong pace in Mother Goose before giving way to favored stablemate Devil May Care; down in class and distance, ideally drawn outside potential duel between SIMPLY SPITEFUL and RAPPORT.”

“has the confirmation and pedigree of a route runner and his early indications are that this added distance will be helpful to him; when he debuted at six furlongs, he closed too late against his winning stable mate.”

Best Bet – Race 7: Ruination (PP: 2 ML 5/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“was run into the ground last time by a kamikaze front-runner (Celebration) with apparent intentions of setting it up for her stretch-running stablemate (Always in Style).
RUINATION cracked in the stretch after a half-mile in ;45.03 and six furlongs in 1:09.69. The difference in this race is there is not an ounce of lick to go with RUINATION. If she makes the front and coasts unchallenged, she should be long gone.”

Brad’s Comments:
“crushed a similar group opening weekend, winning by more than three lengths at the same class and similar distance. He goes an additional half-furlong in this seven-furlong race, and if he can run two alike he can win again. Leading trainer Doug O’Neill had a handful of winners early in the meet disappoint in their second start of the season, but THOMAS BAINES has had more than a month between starts.”
