Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HARLISS) (5-2) - He tired Aug. 23 at Del Mar for a $40K tag in his first back following a pair of layoffs. A NEW gelding, he drops down to today's $20,000 claiming price for the first time and enters off a pair of sharp recent local works.
2nd pick: #3 (Rineshaft) (3-1) - A lightly raced son of 'Mineshaft', he tired here for a $40K tag Sept. 27. Only his second start, he drops in half for this attempt, has blinkers on, and this colt is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Fortnite Dance) (6-1) - No-speed type rallied to finish fourth of 10, beaten 3 lengths Sept. 22 at Los Alamitos going 5 furlongs for this $20K tag. He has blinkers back on and a fast and/or contested pace would help his chances out.
4th pick: #1 (Truest Reward) (4-1) - Well backed when debuting for a $30K tag Sept. 19 at Los Alamitos, he raced both wide and evenly from an outside post. $50K purchase has a new trainer, Doug O'Neill who has won with 26-of-107 (25%) with fresh arrivals to his barn in 2018-19.
