Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (DOWNSIDE UP) (7-2) - He's dropping back down following an even fourth place finish facing tougher Sept. 18th at Los Alamitos. He's been sharp in both previous starts at this level, and speed/stalker draws outside of the main contenders.
2nd pick: #9 (Westmont) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he has fine early speed, and has been competitive in both starts at this $50,000 claiming price. Working fast for his first since Aug. 28th, win candidate should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #5 (Toy's Party) (6-1) - Well backed when debuting Aug. 11th at Del Mar, he raced evenly after a bit of a 'troubled' break. Working steadily for his second attempt, Tommy Town home bred can factor at a square price with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #6 (Enter the Code) (5-1) - Speedy sort has lost ground in the stretch run in all four starts. He finished a pace-setting 2nd at this level Sept. 15th at Los Alamitos, but earned a weak 'figure' in a slow race. Working fast since, his connections remove his blinkers for this assignment. Can factor, but needs to do better.
