Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (EDDY FOREVER) (3-1) - He rallied to finish a close up 4th following a slow start when debuting at this level and distance Sept. 1 at Del Mar. In the Baffert barn, 24% second time out, this home bred draws a tough post, but can win his with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #4 (Goliad) (7-2) - One of several first-time-starters, home bred by 'War Front' has been working steadily since early August for 'Hall of Famer' Rick Mandella. Bred for grass success, it's noted that Flavien Prat is aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (Show Business) (12-1) - An uncoupled barn-mate of 'Goliad,' this colt raced evenly when debuting at Del Mar Sept. 1 at this mile distance. Trainer Mandella wins at a 17% rate second time out, and this Godolphin runner has a ground saving post.
4th pick: #5 (Best Chance) (8-1) - Very wide when beaten 5.5 lengths in a Del Mar grass sprint Aug. 23, he's from a top barn, John Sadler, and this colt can factor with normal second out improvement as he stretches out in distance.
