Baffert quartet faces Mullins turfer and Glatt upstart and it should be intriguing. Feels like National Treasure gets his graded stake win here, but 'other' Bafferts Newgate and Speed Boat Beach (returning to dirt) and Spun Intended (the Glatt which he lauded on ATR) are going to take part in the Road to the SA Derby..

Next Best: #6 Spun Intended 5-2 5th-Pulled Up
