Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (VEGAS VIC) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt has finished second in both starts, the latest coming here at this level July 27. He's worked fast twice heading into this attempt and has enough early speed to avoid a wide trip from his outside post. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Gosofar) (7-2) - Freshened up since June 9, he's moving to the dirt following three straight second place finishes at this level going 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita grass. Stalker is working above average on the local dirt and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Morgan S) (6-1) - One of three making their debuts, gelding worked a bullet 3/8 ths from the gate here Aug. 2. In steady training here since July 15, 3yo has a half-dozen a.m. drills on the local dirt. A threat if ready.
4th pick: #6 (My Friend Tony) (4-1) - Sacramento shipper raced wide while finishing a close up third when debuting there July 28. The figure earned fits with these and his connections bring him back quickly and have Bejarano aboard.
