Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HOT RODIN) (5-2) - Gelding tired last out after rushing up to contest a quick pace Aug. 21st at Del Mar. He did not break sharply that day in his first race since Feb. 15th. Working fast for this, he has the rail, and can win this with a alert getaway.
2nd pick: #2 (My Uncle Al) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he rallied to check in second when debuting in the same last race as 'Hot Rodin.' Barn (Mike Puype) has worked him five times since, and gelding is an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Fire to the Wire) (8-1) - He raced evenly when debuting in the same Aug. 21st Del Mar contest as both 'Hot Rodin' and 'My Uncle Al.' I like his works since, and think he can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Admiral's Club) (15-1) - Unraced since July 31, 4yo tired in his debut, then broke poorly in his latest. May grab a minor award at long odds with a clean beginning.
