Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (AFTERNOON HEAT) (5-2) - This colt has finished second in both starts, the latest here at this $50K tag facing fellow Cal breds July 24. He has a speed/stalking style and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Atomic Candy) (4-1) - He tired late when finishing 2.5 lengths in back of 'Afternoon Heat' here July 24. Only his second start, it was a big move forward off his debut July 4 at Los Alamitos. Dizney home bred has worked twice since, moves of the rail, and leading rider Flavien Prat stays put.
3rd pick: #2 (Anniversary Sale) (4-1) - This Tommy Town home bred split 'Afternoon Heat' and 'Atomic Candy' last out. He did not break cleanly in his first race in 11 months and he should be much sharper with that come-backer out of the way.
4th pick: #4 (Etterbay Ucklay) (7-2) - This grey gelding is switching from grass to dirt, drops in class, and is dropping back down in class. In his only previous start on the dirt, he rallied from far back to check in 2nd of 8, beaten almost two lengths at this level going 6.5 furlongs April 26 at Santa Anita.
