Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ETERNAL ENDEAVOUR) (2-1) - English import moves up in price while stretching out in distance. Mare was an easy 5 length winner sprinting at Los Al for a $25K tag Sept. 7. Heavily bet (3-5) that afternoon, it was her first race since March 23 of 2018 and she's been sharp in both previous attempts at this mile distance.
2nd pick: #4 (Catoca) (5-2) - She was a winner at this distance July 4 at Los Al facing optional-$40K/N$Y foes, then tired in her next pair facing tougher. Down in class for this attempt, 4yo is in the win mix.
3rd pick: #6 (Cimarron) (8-1) - Consiaten facing weaker, she's gone 9-2-3-3- on the dirt and has finished second in both previous starts at this distance. One-run type tries hard every time and can factor despite facing tougher.
4th pick: #5 (Mongolian Empire) (7-2) - A lightly raced 4yo, she won at this distance facing $50K starter-allowance foes July 20 at Del Mar, then ran evenly in her follow up pair. Down a bit in class, home bred is capable of factoring.
