Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (UNO TROUBLE MAKER) (4-1) - This filly is dropping in class while switching back to the dirt in her first since Aug. 14 at Del Mar. 4yo speedster is six for 11 on the local main track with all of those victories at today's six-furlong distance. I give her a slight edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Rather Nosy) (3-1) - Consistent 3yo has gone 8-2-3-3 on the dirt and is 6-2-2-2 locally. One run type fits at the level and should receive a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.

3rd pick: #7 (Persepolis) (7-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, this 4yo by 'War Front' broke her maiden at this distance Sept. 19 at Los Alamitos. Only her third start, it was her first since Feb. 8, first on the dirt, and first for Rick Mandella. She faces much tougher today, but has plenty of room for upside.

4th pick: #1 (Message) (5-2) - From the Baffert barn, she set a quick and pressured pace before weakening to check in 3rd in a $75K sprint stakes Sept. 7 at Los Alamitos. She has the rail and must be left in the mix.
