Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CLIFTON BEACH) (2-1) - Heavily favored at Los Alamitos Sept. 24 his backers had to tear up their tickets at the break when he stumbled badly unseating jockey Evin Roman. Very sharp in four of five prior to that, stalker has been working fast and can break his maiden today.

2nd pick: #5 (Tiz Indy) (9-2) - Freshened up for almost three months speedy gelding raced evenly July 20 at Del Mar in his first at this $20,000 claiming price. Competitive prior to that facing a bit tougher, home bred is dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Sixes) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old chased and held down the place spot in the same Sept. 24 contest at Los Alamitos that saw 'Clifton Beach' lose is rider at the break. It was his second back off a pair of long layoffs and is first ever in a claimer. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #7 (Royal Seeker) (5-1) - He raced evenly when checking in a distant third four lengths in back of 'Sixes' Sept. 24. State bred was racing off an 8.5 month layoff and may have needed the start. Can grab a share with a bit of improvement.
