Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BLUE RATIO) (2-1) - Grey gelding has been on the sidelines since Sept 4 at Del Mar. He has a new trainer - Greg Tracy (25% with new arrivals) and he drops him way down in class. Three-year-old has shown good early speed facing tougher and should beat these on the class reduction.
2nd pick: #1 (Tommy's Stylin) (3-1) - Another coming from the So. California circuit, he's racing second back from a 19-month layoff. Working nicely for his local debut, he drops in class for his new trainer, Mike Chambers, is 34% with new stock. Has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Celestial Image) (6-1) - He has an experience edge on the top pair, but that also means that he has more losses. Four-year-old has a speed/stalking style and draws outside of the other two selections. Capable if the top two are sub par.
4th pick: #9 (Smart Style) (15-1) - Not a win candidate, he's lightly-raced and could grab a minor award at a big price if one or more of the top three picks doesn't run to expectations.
