Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ELEVATE ) (7-2) - Home bred has been away slowly in all three starts but did rally to finish second when dropped to this level at this distance Aug. 31 at Del Mar. By far a career best, 3yo worked fast here Sept. 28 and can win this with a late charge.
2nd pick: #11 (Bank Walker) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he has good early speed and is stretching back out in distance. Working fast, gelding gets a positive rider switch to veteran Stu Elliott and should be in this every ste.
3rd pick: #8 (Activated) (12-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly at this tag going 7 furlongs at Del Mar Sept. 3. $240K purchase has been a big disappointment, but think he's primed t be competitive in his second back from 11 months on the sidelines.
4th pick: #7 (June Two Four) (6-1) - Even-paced type finished a solid third at this level and distance Sept. 23 at Los Alamitos. It was a positive effort and 3yo is capable of impacting with a repeat of it.
