Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (UNITED) (8-5) - A multiple 'Graded' stakes winner, he missed by a 'head' to 'Bricks and Mortars' in the Breeders' Cup Turf (G1) at Santa Anita Nov. 2. This lightly raced 5yo is three for three this year, has the rail, and will be very hard to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Proud Pedro) (12-1) - He's won two of his last three facing weaker but did win at this demanding 11-furlong distance here July 24. The type that can 'run all day', he earned a very good figure that afternoon and think he'll be competitive at a big price.

3rd pick: #7 (Red King) (6-1) - He enters off of three straight sharp efforts including an easy win June 21 at Santa Anita in a G3 going 14 furlongs. The veteran was less than a length behind 'Proud Pedro' in late February and he has leading rider Umberto Rispoli back on a re-ride. In the mix.

4th pick: #3 (Combatant) (15-1) - He's winless in eight starts on the grass, but he has been competitive several times. The distance is not a problem for this 5yo by 'Scat Daddy' and he's capable of getting a share at a big price.
