Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MIDNIGHT STORM) (2-1) - Multiple G1 and G2 winner won the 2016 renewal of this stakes. He's been idle since late May, but is working sharply here, and this veteran has won five of six on the Del Mar turf in the past. He wins this if ready.
2nd pick: #2 (OM) (7-2) - He brings his best most every time out, and in his latest he finished 2nd in a G3 at Santa Anita July 4. Speed/stalker missed by a 1/2-length to 'Midnight Storm' in this stakes a year ago and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #3 (Bal a Bali) (5-2) - Brazilian import has has won a pair of G1's in his last three starts. Strong finisher is working fast, has won here before, and is an obvious threat.
4th pick: #1 (Vyjack) (5-1) - He finished 2nd here in a minor stakes July 23 in his first race in eight months. Veteran has a ground saving post and will be closing late.
