Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TRICKONOMICS) (5-2) - Speedy gelding tired following a bobbling start at Del Mar at this level and distance Aug. 16. He had been competitive in three of four prior to that facing tougher and enters off a quick half-mile breeze Aug. 28.
2nd pick: #3 (Cool Hand Lucas) (10-1) - One of four making their debuts, home bred enters off a pair of sharp back-to-back works at Del Mar. The latest was a quick 3/8ths from the gate Sept. 1 and that should have him on edge for his first attempt.
3rd pick: #4 (Papa Ted) (5-1) - Gelding is racing for the first time since March 18. Away slowly in both starts last winter, he has a new trainer and is working very fast here for return to action. Dangerous if ready.
