#5 Big City Lights (15-1), Sprint

The pace scenario should be interesting from the outside, and Big City Lights will look to settle into a favorable stalking position. Well-drawn toward the middle and tied for the top last-out Brisnet Speed rating in the field, a 105 for a 7 3/4-length romp in the restricted California Cup Sprint at Santa Anita, Big City Lights showed his affinity for Del Mar two back, winning the restricted Cary Grant S. by 8 1/2 lengths, and his most recent Speed and Brisnet Late Pace numbers are on par with his main rivals. The six-year-old gelding will make his first start since January, but horses have performed well off lengthy layoffs in previous Sprints. This year’s field lacks the star appeal and depth of most editions, with 5-2 morning line favorite Bentornato counting last year’s Gallant Bob (G2) for three-year-olds as his lone graded stakes win. Big City Lights has trained forwardly in preparation and rates as an upset candidate.

#10 Antiquarian (15-1), Classic

Can’t afford to be too far back during early stages and well-drawn toward the outside for an up-close stalking trip, with the main speed in the first four posts. The four-year-old has improved since stretching to 1 1/4 miles two starts back, earning a 107 Brisnet Speed rating for a head second in the Suburban and a 108 figure for a 1 1/2-length score in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) last out, and Antiquarian appears primed for a career-best effort in the Classic.

#2 Stellify (30-1), Filly & Mare Turf

Dominated Ladies Matron (G3) at Kentucky Downs in stakes debut, and frontrunning four-year-old daughter of Justify has never been exposed, reeling off four straight convincing wins. Trained by Brad Cox, Stellify has thrived since stretching out in distance, romping at 12 furlongs two back, and she figures to try to clear early with her speed in the Filly & Mare Turf.
