#4 Bulldogger- Baffert 3 year old blew away a good field in his SAR debut winning by 7 easy lengths in a key race that produced three next out winners. This one is one of the many 3 year olds that Baffert has that can really run. He also has our second pick in here.

Battagliaspicks 5-2-9

#5 Easy Ashley- This is the kind we love to double up on. She moved to the turf and won 4 of 7 and is 4 for 5 at this distance. The others in here have only broken their maidens. She is coming off a near miss in a 50k stake at Tampa and sticks out against these.
