Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HOT SEAN) (9-5) - The probable favorite, $550,000 colt by 'Flatter' was away slowly in his debut but rallied strongly to miss by a 1/2 length. He's worked three times since for trainer Bob Baffert (21% second time out) and draws a nice post at this 6.5 furlong trip.

2nd pick: #3 (Eleutheros) (2-1) - One of four making their debuts, colt is well bred and is working fast. In the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Jerry Hollendorfer (22% first out) and this Stonestreet home bred is very dangerous if ready.

3rd pick: #1 (Blabamir) (5-1) - Another of the first-time starters, colt is one of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill. Working steadily, he drilled a sharp 5-furlongs from the gate Sept. 7 at Los Alamitos.

4th pick: #7 (Rock On Dude) (8-1) - Longshot was never involved after losing all chance when he almost fell nearing the 6.5 furlong gap soon after the start Sep 4 at Del Mar. Trainer Rich Baltas (20% second time out) is adding blinkers (25%).
