Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (OUT OF PATIENCE) (8-5) - This veteran races first off a Jerry Hollendorfer claim (a 22% winning angle). This 6yo was an easy winner going a mile at Del Mar Sept. 4 and is shortening up in distance here. Old timer has a great local record (15-5-1-4) and can win this from 'off the pace.'
2nd pick: #3 (Pray Hard) (7-2) - Another veteran gelding, he won at Los Alamitos Sept. 23 going six furlongs for an $8,000 claiming price. It was his eighth career win in 27 starts on the dirt, and he should factor again today.
3rd pick: #4 (Templar) (4-1) - Speed/stalker fits with his best and enters off a good effort at Los Alamitos Sept. 16. He had finished 2nd in his previous start at Del Mar and is capable of impacting here.
4th pick: #6 (One More Roll) (5-1) - Speedster stretches back out after a series of solid efforts at Los Alamitos facing mixed fields of thoroughbreds and quarter-horses. He's won here at this distance in the past, and his early speed must be respected.
