2 REACH THE WORLD 8-5
4 HONOR AND COURAGE 9-5
1 SONNETEER 3-1
3 CATS BLAME 4-1
PICK: 2 REACH THE WORLD (8-5)
Baffert seemed to be higher on Dabster, his winner last out that included this first timer. But he did say this one would get better w/ a race or two. He ran big from the rail at 5-1 to get beat just a length. He has a the $2.9M winner, Escena, in the female family (a half to the dam). He’ll move forward in 2nd start.
VALUE: 1 SONNETEER (3-1)
Was just half a length behind a main player in here, Honor and Courage, in his 2nd start of his career. He nibbled vs good fields in all of his route races since. 6 wide in the 100k California Derby at 12-1 but did finish with a bit of interest. Desormeaux back and he has done well w/ him. Bred for longer distances.
