Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CONQUEST COBRA) (4-1) - He's been freshened up since an even effort Aug. 24 at Del Mar in s $100K stakes at this distance. He did not break cleanly that day or he may have done much better. He had won two in a row prior to that and is working fast locally. He's won here before and it's noted that Bejarano is aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #1 (Soi Phet) (3-1) - He's dropping back where he belongs after tiring badly facing 'California Chrome' and 'Dortmund' in the Awesome Again Stakes (G1) here Oct. 1. He had won three of five prior to hat and all of those came in stakes. He has the rail, a stalking style, and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Magic Mark) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and fast from the gate, 6-year-old has won a stakes at this distance Aug. 24 at Del Mar in his second back of a year's layoff. In his follow up start at Los Aamitos Sept. 10, he was only a 1/2 length behind 'Soi Phet.' Working fast and he must be left in the win mix.

4th pick: #3 (Dream Team) (10-1) - A $1,000,000 purchase as a yearling back in 2013, he's won three of his last five starts when facing weaker. Freshened up for almost two months, he's working above average and is capable of getting a share at a big price.
