Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DATA CENTRAL) (3-1) - Competitive in all six starts on the grass he's shortening back up in distance for this attempt. Son of 'Data Link' did finish a close-up third here at this distance May 27 and it came facing tougher. The 3yo gets top billing.
2nd pick: #6 (Bahamian) (9-2) - NEW gelding is dropping into a claimer in his first start since Aug. 5. $160K purchase showed some ability and promise as a 2yo in 2017 but hasn't repeated it in three starts this year. Stalker should contend today with the changes.
3rd pick: #3 (Rumpus Cat) (6-1) - Longshot was only 1.5 lengths behind 'Bahamian' Aug. 5 at Del Mar and is another dropping into a claimer for the first time. Blinkers are back on following a pair of starts without the 'hood' and think this son of 'Street Sense' can factor at a big square price.
4th pick: #9 (Capall) (4-1) - Speedy sort moves back to the grass while shortening up in distance. He tired badly going a mile on the Los Alamitos dirt Sept. 13 but has been competitive in all three local tries at this distance. Gelding must be left in the mix.
