Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (AMERICANIZE) (4-1) - Lightly raced gelding is working fast for his first since March 17. Promising 4yo stumbled at the break that day and lost his rider. Very sharp in his first three prior to that, he has a good outside post, and has a solid shot in a deep field.
2nd pick: #4 (Prime Issue) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Peter Miller, he was an easy five-length winner at this tag and trip July 2. It was his third back following an 8 1/2-month layoff, and a repeat of it makes him very tough.
3rd pick: #7 (Blue Anchor) (6-1) - Speed/stalker scored at this level at odds of 18-1 June 17 at Santa Anita. Back in shape following a four-month layoff, he has a fine record at Del Mar (4-1-3-0).
4th pick: #8 (Texas Two Step) (10-1) - This longshot is the second of the pair from trainer Miller. He's racing first off a re-claim (32%) after the barn lost him for one contest. He may impact a a square price.
