Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FUSAICHI SAMURAI) (2-1) - He's one of five making their debuts. $260,000 purchase is from the Baffert Barn and has a series of impressive works on view. From the same connections as 'American Pharoah' all 12 of this gelding's a.m. drills have come here at Los Alamitos.
2nd pick: #6 (Moon Silk) (5-1) - Another making his debut, home bred by 'Malibu Moon' ships in from Turf Paradise for the leading trainer there (Bob Diodoro). Several of his works are on the quick side and believe he'll sneak away at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Wildman Hart) (3-1) - One of the two that have started, he showed good early speed before tiring when debuting March 22 at Santa Anita. He's working above average and returns as a NEW gelding.
4th pick: #3 (Elegant Street) (8-1) - Long shot has been freshened up since Aug 1 when he tired going a mile on the Del Mar grass. Another working well above average, owner/trainer Bobby Wayne Grayson switches him to the dirt and shortens him up in distance.
