Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (RESISTANCEISFUTILE) (3-1) - He has just missed in both starts at this level since returning from an eight-month layoff July 10. Speed/stalker missed by a 1/2 here July 30, and leading rider Flavien is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #11 (Awesome Image) (9-2) - Freshened up since June 26, he finished 2nd that day at the small Oak Tree meet at Pleasanton. Speed/stalker fits and draws a good post for this attempt.
3rd pick: #3 (Legitmate) (7-2) - Colt has been sharp in two straight at this level. He's exchanged decisions with 'Resistanceisfutile' in his last pair and is an obvious threat.
4th pick: #5 (Star Express) (4-1) - Minor player tends to race evenly and has picked up minor awards in seven of 16 lifetime starts. May do so again today, but needs to do better for any shot at the top spot.
