Dave Litfin (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 3: Moshe Diane (PP: 4 ML 5/2)
Dave’s Comments:
“finished willingly for second when returned from 54-day freshening, overtaking JUDICIAL LEADER and posting new top Beyer; that figure was solidified when the winner, Life’s Measure, came right back to win her second-level allowance condition. Judicial Leader fought hard most of the way before weakening late vs. the choice last out; rates extra credit for any moisture in the surface.”

Brad’s Comments:
“will be heavily favored to win this N1X sprint gate to wire, following a smashing debut in which he set a fast pace and won clear with a 92 Beyer. None of his rivals are as quick; the speedster should lead gate to wire at low odds.”
Mike Superstein (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 2: Saddleranch (PP: 3 ML 8/5)
Mike’s Comments:
“toyed with maidens first time out for Baffert, scooting home by daylight in a brisk 1:15 4/5. Five blazing workouts since the race enhance the Vindication colt’s chances of defeating older, more experienced runners.”

“is at tops going 6f on Belmont’s inner turf – where his only non-exacta finish from five starts came vs. 21-time winner I’ve Got Speed – and returns to those conditions for first time in over 1 1/2 years; chances improve if rival speed CAYO HUESO is the one from the N. Chatterpaul entry that is scratched. If someone is to beat the top pick, perhaps the best candidates are MASALA and KEECHI BULLET, who are ostensibly dirt horses.”

Chuck’s Comments:
“could get your week off to a good start as he drops into a likely spot for a sharp barn and the leading rider. Sharp barn plus leading rider equals not as much value as you might like, but colt did graduate here two back at this distance and turned in an even better effort last time out despite finishing in midpack. This is the cheapest claiming price he has run for.”

“Honest veteran STREETS OF HEAVEN is a potential ‘single.’ He crushed similar last out at Santa Anita, and loves the Hollywood surface. Ten starts here produced four wins, three seconds. Always best around one turn, he figures for a pressing trip just off the pace.”
Mike Superstein (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 7: Burj Dubai (PP: 4 ML 5/2)
Mike’s Comments:
“We’ll get a better idea today how good a claim BURJ DUBAI was for Mike Mitchell. The regally bred son of Distorted Humor was taken for $50,000 out of a facile sprint victory in March and reappears six weeks later with some brisk workouts under his belt. The 5-year-old was narrowly beaten in a mile and one-sixteenth stakes at Hastings Park last year, so the added distance shouldn’t be an issue.”

“is sitting on a win after a big runner-up finish at Santa Anita. He was shuffled back early, uncorked a solid wide move through the turn and into the lane, and narrowed the gap late while clear of second. His closing style is suited to this racetrack; he enters as a possible standout in this $30k maidenclaimer.”

Best Bet – Race 4: Farley Star (PP: 2 ML 2-1)
Mike’s Comments:
“swung out at the top of the stretch and bravely held off all challengers to win an optional claimer March 17th. The English bred is back at the same level, eligible because this time he’s in for the $40,000 claiming price. Take the veteran mare right back.”

Best Bet – Race 5: Picture Perfect (PP: 1 ML 5/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“The downhill sprint that PICTURE PERFECT three weeks ago was nothing more than a comeback prep race. She was not asked for speed, ran around the track, and merely raced evenly to finish fourth of eight. Now she stretches to two turns, has more speed than her first U.S. start suggests, and is from a stable that finished Santa Anita on a 5-for-16 roll. With a race under her belt, a longer distance, and a moderate field of N1X fillies and mares, the Irish-bred import might be the best gamble on the card. Odds of 3-1 on the
Simon Callaghan trainee would be generous..”

“has shown an enormous amount of talent in just two starts. The Harlan’s Holiday filly came from nowhere to break her maiden first out, then was a sharp second in the Santa Paula Stakes in his first crack at winners. There’s plenty of speed to set up her late kick, and Rosario continues to rack up the wins.”

Bob’s Comments:
“routed bottom-level Louisiana-bred maidens in her third start since June, fits nicely in this open race for restricted $5,000 runners.”
Long Shot – Race 9: Champaign Spirit (PP: 2 ML 8-1)
Bob’s Comments:
“routed $30,000 maidens in her third start in a race switched from turf to dirt, worked sharply since then and appears competitive in this allowance group.”

Best Bet – Race 6: Mr. Monkey Jones (PP: 7 ML 2-1)
Chuck’s Comments:
“was re-claimed in his last start and returns to his favorite track today. He’s obviously not the runner he was two years ago when he won his first two career starts here and then ran second in a stakes. He’s hit the board in all seven career tries here and always against tougher company. He could wake up the echoes here.”
