Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (AUTHENTIC) (8-5) - This $350,000 son of 'Into Mischief' is working very fast for his debut and meets a weak field. In the barn of Bob Baffert 44 of 107 (42%) with first-time-starters in 2018-19, colt looks all set to win in his initial outing.
2nd pick: #7 (Moon MIschief) (4-1) - He finished second when debuting in a 5 horse field going 5.5 furlongs at Los Alamitos Sept. 6, then raced evenly in a grass sprint Oct. 5 at Santa Anita. His outside post and experience are both positives and think he'll be competitive as he moves back to the dirt.
3rd pick: #5 (Absolut Unit) (3-1) - Colt by 'Will Take Charge' has been in steady training here sine late September. Three of his latest four a.m. moves are well above average, but the barn (Pete Eurton) isn't known for first out success.
