Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (POSTERIZE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker was involved every step and held strongly to miss by a 'neck' in a three-horse win photo going 6.5 furlongs at Santa Anita for a $40K tag Oct. 18. He moves up just a bit and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Union Ride) (7-2) - Stretch runner moves up after winning by a 'head' over 'Posterize' Oct. 18 at Santa Anita for a $40,000 claiming price. It was his third win in his last 6 attempts and this 3yo by 'Candy Ride' is dangerous if he holds his recent form.
3rd pick: #1 (Railman) (9-2) - One of two entered by Pete Eurton, he's dropping into a claimer after an even third place finish Sept. 14 at Los Alamitos facing starter-allowance ($50,000 level) foes. Stalker has the rail and must be left in the mix.
