Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ZAP AGAIN) (8-5) - The probable favorite is taking a huge drop in class after a pair of solid efforts facing much tougher. In the Baffert barn, $410K son of 'Ghostzapper' is the likely winner if he doesn't scratch.

2nd pick: #6 (Make It a Triple) (3-1) - He tired last out facing tougher, but had finished second in his previous start also facing a bit better than most of this group. He worked above average Aug. 9 and looks like the main danger.

3rd pick: #10 (Buckner) (12-1) - Colt improved to finish fourth last out when he dropped to this level and blinkers went on. May grab a share at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Shadow Op) (8-1) - Bred for speed. he tired while wide in his heavily bet debut here at this tag July 20. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill, he brings his back at the purchase price and has leading rider Evin Roman aboard.

5th pick: #2 (Supreme Giant) (20-1) - Not a win candidate, but longshot is capable of getting a small slice at a big price with one of his better efforts.
