Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (EIGHT RINGS) (2-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Bob Baffert, and this $520,000 colt by 'Empire Maker' was a visually impressive maiden winner debuting here Aug. 4. He earned a huge figure that day, has worked fast since, and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Garth) (7-2) - The second of the Baffert pair, he's a maiden facing winners in this G1 contest. Heavily bet debuting here Aug. 10, he did not break cleanly and finished 2nd, 1.5 lengths behind today's rival 'Storm the Court.' He worked fast Aug. 22, has blinkers on for this attempt, and Mike Smith is taking over the riding chores.
3rd pick: #8 (Wrecking Crew) (4-1) - Sharp in both attempts, he won his debut here July 27, then ran 2nd in the Best Pal Stakes (G2) Aug. 10. Away slowly in both starts, the additional furlong and a fine outside post make him a threat.
