Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CLOSING TIME) (2-1) - Gelding is stretching out in distance following a pair of second place finishes in sprints at this level during August at Del Mar. Trainer Jeff Mullins worked him three times during Sept. on the local dirt and he has him set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Amodei) (7-2) - Speed/stalker is another stretching out in distance. He's finished second in two of his first four sprinting and breaks from the rail. An obvious threat and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Jet Ski) (4-1) - On the sidelines since Aug 13, he finished second that afternoon sprinting at Del Mar. Working fast for his return, trainer Jeff Bonde is adding blinkers. Colt must be left in the win mix.
