Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BLUE LAW) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's dropping into a claimer for the first time. He enters off a 'troubled' trip here Oct 30 facing tougher after having finished second in his previous race. Working fast and trainer Bob Hess Jr. reaches out to Bejarano for this attempt.
2nd pick: #5 (Architop) (7-2) - He showed nothing in a dirt start at this trip Oct 8 at Santa Anita. He clearly prefers the grass, is working fast, and has been competitive facing better in the past when on the lawn.
3rd pick: #3 (Selection) (12-1) - Long shot is an even-paced type and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since the spring. He's worked twice since his latest and is capable of getting a part of this at a big price.
4th pick: #9 (Woody's Folly) (8-1) - Three-year-old moves back to the grass after rallying to finish third at this level and distance on the Santa Anita dirt Oct 8. He was competitive in his only previous grass starts, and can be today at long odds if able to avoid a wide trip from this outside post.
