Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (LORD SIMBA) (3-1) - Debuting son of 'Discreet Cat' cost $300,000 and makes a belated debut for trainer Bob Baffert (20% first out). Colt has been working fast here for some time now and looks set to be a factor in his initial attempt.
2nd pick: #3 (Ideal) (9-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he missed by a length Aug 18 at Santa Anita. He was bet down to 2-5 that afternoon and was only facing four rivals. An obvious threat, but at a short price again today.
3rd pick: #7 (Super Touch) (8-1) - Speed/stalker finished third when facing weaker at this distance Aug 11 at Del Mar. He draws outside of the speed and that should lead to a good trip.
4th pick: #6 (Elegant Street) (6-1) - He was a half-length better than 'Super Touch' last out and it was one of his best ever in eight starts. Can factor today if he isn't sent hard to try and make the early lead.
