Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ZORICH) (8-5) - Speed/stalker is stretching back out in distance after finishing a distant second here going 6.5 furlongs for twice this tag Sept 27. Trainer Mark Glatt drops him in half ($20,000 claiming price) and this gelding by 'Hard Spun' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Malibu Magic) (6-1) - Even-paced type has been competitive in three straight at this level while never looking like the winner. He finished third at this distance Sept. 21 at Los Alamitos, has a ground-saving post, and enters off a pair of quick works. Think he's a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Moana Luna) (3-1) - A lightly raced 3yo gelding, he has good early speed and is dropping back down after a pace-setting third place finish here at this distance for a $50K claiming price Oct. 6. Bred/owned/trained by Bruce Headley, he must be left in the mix.
