Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (POPULAR KID) (3-1) - Busy gelding seems to thrive on being active. 'Long winded' type has been given a short break (8 weeks) by trainer Keith Desormeaux and is training steadily for this attempt. He drops him in class and moves him back to the dirt. Cal bred should love the long stretch here and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Curly's Waterfront) (7-2) - Consistent sort is another dropping down and switching from grass to dirt. 3yo by 'More Than Ready' has the rail and is racing back into shape after coming off a bit more than 7 month layoff Aug 6. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #6 (Run Like Rhett) (2-1) - He's another switching from turf to dirt and is about equal on both surfaces. Much improved since blinkers went on in late May, 4yo by 'Afleet Alex' should enjoy the lengthy stretch and must be left in the mix.
