Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BASINCA) - He's finished second in two straight, the latest coming at this level June 25 at Santa Anita. It was a career best overall and he draws a nice outside post for his stalking style.
2nd pick: #7 (Look Me in the Eye) - Very lightly-raced, he's moving up in class as he faces winners for the first time. Speed/stalker looked sharp when breaking his maiden June 11 and this Calif. bred has room for upside. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Spanish Hombre) - Another who broke his maiden last out, he has a strong finishing style. The figure earned in his June 19 victory was the highest last out of any and he should get a solid pace to close into.
4th pick: #3 (Midnight Edition) (6-1) - Away since late August, he broke his maiden here that afternoon. Trainer Bob Baffert has him working fast and the Hall of Fame member always seems at his best at this boutique meeting.
