Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (STUDENT BODY LEFT) (6-1) - Price play is one of three entered in this maiden contest by trainer Bob Baffert. He's the only one of the trio that has started when he tired after chasing the pace here in his debut Sept 27. He's worked fast three times since, including a bullet half-mile breeze here Oct 19. The second and third place finishers that afternoon ran one-two yesterday and it's a plus that Bejarano is aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Hoffenheim) (5-2) - Son of 'Midnight Lute' is another from the Baffert barn. Colt sold for $900,000 this past March as a 2-year-old in training at Ocala. Working both fast and frequently he's runs in the colors of Kaleem Shah, he of 'American Pharoah' fame. Looks ready to be competitive first out with Victor Espinoza aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Drefong) (3-1) - The third from trainer Bob Baffert. Debuting colt by 'Gio Ponti' sold for $450,000 in Sept of 2014 at the Keeneland yearling sales. Working fast, he has the rail, and is a threat with an alert break.
