Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (OVER ACHIEVER) (5-2) - Speedy veteran is working fast for his first since an easy win facing weaker March 9 at Santa Anita. Claimed that afternoon by Ron Ellis for $12,500, he has him working steadily, he draws the rail, and Flavien Prat is aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Jonny's Choice) (3-1) - Oldest member of the field, 8-year-old is another racing of a layoff (May 11) and first off a claim (Bil Spawr). He's a perfect 3-for-3 on the Del Mar dirt in the past and this is his favorite distance (12-4-3-4). A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Sense of Glory) (6-1) - He was pulled up after a half-mile following a stumbling start here Aug. 3, but had been competitive in five straight prior to that facing tougher. He's two for five at this distance and drops to a new low in claiming price. Interesting longshot.
