Sunday's 8th race from Santa Anita Park (6-10-18) is the Grade 3, $100,000 Affirmed Stakes for 3-year-olds traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the main track.
Primary Contenders - #6 Draft Pick, #5 Solomini
Comments: #6 Draft Pick (4-1) finally broke through with a maiden win, and he did it easily in a local route May 12 (career best Final Rating). The $450,000 Keeneland sales grad projects an outside stalking trip and might be this good. #5 Solomini (4-5) finds a great spot to get his confidence back. The 1-for-7 colt is consistent and has held his own vs. some of the top members of his class. He could easily score at low odds.
Wagers:
#6 to win
