Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HARTEL) (4-1) - Nicely bred gelding stretches out to a mile after breaking his maiden here in a five-furlong turf sprint Aug. 8. It was his first ever on the grass, and this $210K purchase by 'City Zip' has the rail and is bred to like this mile distance.

2nd pick: #2 (Takeo Squared) (8-1) - He broke his maiden here a this distance facing fellow Cal breds in his grass debut Aug. 16. Improving, this longshot has a shot at a big price.

3rd pick: #4 (Rijeka) (7-2) - Irish import won his local debut at this distance Aug. 12 despite breaking slowly. Only his second start, it was his first in No. America, first for Rich Baltas, and first with lasix. Win candidate today.

4th pick: #5 (Forloveofcountry) (5-1) - $300K son of 'Sky Mesa' rallied from far back to break his maiden at this distance in his grass debut July 28. Working well since, he must be left in the mix.
