Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HERO'S REWARD) (5-2) - One of two entered by Bob Baffert, and both are making their first starts. A $450,000 son of 'Flatter,' this colt is working fast, meets a weak field for the level, and Baffert is the best in the business first out (43%).
2nd pick: #5 (Great Power) (3-1) - Another working fast for his first attempt, this $290,000 son of 'Blame' is in the barn of Simon Callaghan, 26% with debuting runners in 2018-19. It's noted that Flavien Prat is aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Thunder Code) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he rallied to finish 3rd debuting at this level going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 31 at Del Mar. A home bred by 'Honor Code,' he's especially dangerous if 'Hero's Reward' and/or 'Great Power' aren't ready.
