Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (FRAC CANDY) (5-2) - Freshened up since August 19, colt rallied to finish second that afternoon at Del Mar going 5.5-furlongs at this $30K tag. Competitive in all three races, he had a bullet 6-furlong gate work here Oct 9, presumably with the blinkers on that trainer Keith Desormeaux adds.
2nd pick: #9 (Uluckydevil) (5-1) - One of three making their debuts, gelding by 'California Chrome's' sire 'Lucky Pulpit' has a nice series of works on view . The latest, a bullet three-furlongs gate drill Oct 19 suggests that he's on edge.
3rd pick: #4 (Purrin' Proud) (6-1) - He's shown good early speed in both starts before tiring to check in fourth in each. Working well at Los Alamitos, he's had three drills there since being beaten four-lengths Sept 19.
4th pick: #6 (I'mcomingthrough) (4-1) - He was bet down to favoritism here at this tag and trip Oct 3. Only his second race, he finished third that afternoon when trainer Phil Oviedo added blinkers. Must be left in the mix.
