Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CORRELATION) (5-2) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Forestry' has been on the sidelines since late May. Working above average at Los Alamitos for her return, trainer Mike Puype drops her way down in class, switches her from grass to dirt, shortens her up in distance, and has leading rider Flavien Prat aboard. Three-year-old can win this if ready of the 2.5 month layoff.
2nd pick: #7 (Shakti) (5-1) - Un-raced since Jan 9, she's another a big drop in class. Grey filly is working regularly at San Luis Rey Downs and and her early speed makes her a serious threat if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Journeytothestars) (3-1) - She has a recency edge on the top two selections and a race over the track. Three-year-old pressed a solid pace before weakening to finish a distant second at this tag going seven furlongs July 20. Must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #4 (Yavrig) (4-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'City Zip' is dropping down a bit and is shortening up in distance. She finished a close up third here when going a mile for a $30K tag July 1. Working well and she should be involved from start-to-finish.
