Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SADDLE BAR) (3-1) - He has sharp early speed and is taking a big drop for this attempt. 3yo tired after a poor break racing for a $40K tag July 28 and is halved in price by his connections. He's worked twice since and gets top billing.

2nd pick: #1 (Temple Knights) (5-1) - This 4yo gelding has been competitive in two straight at this tag sprinting at Los Alamitos. He has the rail and should be involved from gate-to-wire.

3rd pick: #4 (Legally Gray) (7-2) - A lightly raced 3yo, he's racing second back from an eight month layoff and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He's shown good early speed in all three starts facing tougher and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #6 (Lorelei's Warrior) (15-1) - Both blinkers and Lasix are added by Sal Gonzalez who claimed this gelding for $20,000 July 27. One run type should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into and is capable of factoring at a big price.
