Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (WINNING CAUSEWAY) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he set a pressured pace before weakening late to check in a close up fourth at this level and distance Aug 21 at Del Mar. It was his second back off just under an eight week rest and first off a Bob Diodoro claim. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Wrightwood) (8-5) - He's rallied to finish second in his last pair at Del Mar. One was sprinting at this tag and the other at this distance facing $25K 2l foes. Stretch runner has blinkers on and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Rough Passage) (2-1) - Speedy veteran moves up a bit following a 'neck' defeat facing slightly weaker at Del Mar Aug 28. It was his 2nd back off a two month break and he must be left in the mix.
